Depends on surf conditions, and where it is...
A shallow rocky reef that I know fairly well I can tolerate it up over my waist, especially since I usually climb out on a rock or ledge where it is shallower...
Sand=no line; wetsuit
On rocks, if there is a good surf I don't want water over my knees, too easy to get knocked down...

To tell you the truth I have been more scared on the back beaches then in the rocks. A lot of the parts of the cape I have fished the drop off is quick and steep. One night 2 years ago in september there was a good groundswell from one of the hurricanes long waits in between set waves. I creaped a little to close to the edge and nearly got sucked over it. To me, it was way scarier than stumbling in the rocks because I can get back up fairly easily.

Pretty much my limits as well.

Wading in strong current doesn't bother me and as long as there are no underwater rocky drop-offs then deep-wading on sandy or rocky bottoms, even in big surf, doesn't really bother me - except when the waves are those really powerful driving waves that have a tendency to hit you right below the belt every time. Those really really piss me off!

Rocky drop-offs are a whole different story. The knees limit is about mine as well. And even if I can fish a place up on the rocks away from the waves I don't want to deal with going down to land a fish or having to try to winch up a big fish.
