My best night this year was a few weeks back with the wind blowing in my face SSW, maybe 30-35 mph and 5-6 choppy waves. Tough going, but well worth it. But, I was on the beach or on low boulders and I wasn't getting knocked around.
A couple of years ago, I was at the end of the B-way, standing 20-3O ft back and stepping out to the end between huge swells and got hit in the chest by a big wave that had deflected off a rock face in front of me. Airborne and dumped on top of a rock point. Hit my butt, not my head. Put me out of works for almost a week. Not smart, no way. I need to remember that water weighs over 7 lbs per gallon and 30 gallons slamming me in the chest is the same as someone throwing a 210 lb ball at me.
So I think there are spots that are safe and spots that aren't and if I'm worried about it, then NOT is the correct answer. If I'm just uncomfortable, that's different. As for the avenues or ledges or b-way ends... nope.
