I maintain a pretty healthy sense of risk on the ocean even at the best of times and more so as the years go by and my experience grows. I can definitely see where you'd want to be extra cautious around somewhere like the outside of the Broken Group for the next few days.
Ever picked goose-barnacles or seen where commercial pickers go? I worked as a coordinator for an experimental fishery for goose-barnacles and often had to land a boat or someone onto the exposed bare rocks they're harvested from. If the La Perouse weather buoy said 2m seas that was our no-go limit but of course the buoy is 15 miles offshore so...no need to take a grain of salt with you.
There’s a few islands that are big enough to land on the lee-side and hike over top to get a feed of barnacles from the surf side. We did that in the Deer Group a few times.
But jumping onto surf-swept rocks …. Doesn’t seem safe.
