What is the general cut off point for wind and seas to have a trip cancelled for an offshore trip out of Grand Isle? Anxiously watching the forecast for this weekend. Currently showing 3ft with a 4s period for the waves and wind out of the SW at 13 mph.

Im curious too. We have a charter for my Dad's 70th on Saturday out of Venice.

3 footers at that interval is pretty choppy. I’ve been in worse but that’s not exactly comfortable riding

I've heard period should be 2x height, within reason obviously

If the wave period is long enough you can have pretty big waves and comfortable ride
Divide wave period in seconds by wave height in feet. If you end up with more than 2 seconds per foot you’re good to go
