When surf casting, what is your comfort level in terms of how far/deep you will wade and on what type of structure? Where do you draw the line? What type of situation makes you the most uncomforatable?

I've found the rocks,obviously, to be much more of a hazard than sand. When I only fished the cape surf, I would wade in my shorts and bare feet most of the time because I could walk fast and cover ground. Now I primarily fish rocks, and consider myself conservative in terms of where I will wade. Despite my conservative nature, I found myself face down in the water three times in the last two seasons. None of them life threatening, but uncomfortable, and thankful for my dry top.I primarily wear wading gear to keep me dry from splashes, not necessarily to get way out.

So, where do you draw the line, if you have a line?
