Offshore winds - how strong is too strong?

Keen for some opinions - at what strength does an offshore wind diminish a surf (4ft as a reference point)?

a) making it a bit tricky
b) making it a shitfight
c) go fly a kite instead

Probably about this strong mate, other than that, she's apples.

is that RCJ or TC?

15 knots. Anything in the 15-20 knots+ range and I'm wing foiling rather than surfing.

Fark, you wouldn't surf much in Vicco flollo. Gets a bit hard over 25 knots.

Haha, that's true. Although the above rule can be avoided with some of those less windy locations under the cliffs etc. I should come for a visit, it's been a while.
