Definately not wet conditions
I think the wind in your face, or light or lipped plugs is the worst unless you know what your doing. I tend to prefer bait, eels and big plugs on the conventional. My problem is like you, I want to spend more time fishing and less time learning to throw a conventional reel. For some reason I have a terrible time casting my Abu's and have no problems with my Calcutta. Perhaps I just don't know what I'm doing.

When wouldn't you use a fly set up (My thought are heavy onshore wind, really tall jetties)?

Again it depends on your experience. If the wind it up much at all a fly rod can be impossible to cast unless you're experienced. There are people who fly fish the big rocks...I stick to the quiet estuaries when Eben isn't looking.
If you're using heavy gear already and not having any problems, I'd stick with what you've got. Big wood and such, there are advantages...
