Being bashed ON the rocks is what scares me. If I'm on rocks where there's more rocks behind me, anything above the knees sends me running.
I much prefer using the wetsuit to find a spot to stand where there's nothing but water behind me.
There's a lot that goes into computing what is "safe" wading. I think with time you get better at it. How much foam is in a wave, how fast it's moving, etc. Lots of variables...
Chief10's decision making process is a lot like mine. I can't define what's too much, I just know it when I feel it...
