Default Size of seas and size of boat

Is there a general rule of thumb on what size of seas become inherently
unsafe for a particular size of boat?

I know there's no firm answer to this, water is unsafe period, and you can
be enjoying the trqnquility of 1 foot swells and have Mr. Whale decide to
knock on your keel to say hello

But is there a general traditional guideline or at least in terms of what
size seas vs boat size that starts making YOU uncomfortable and more
concerned beyond the vigilance water should always be respected with?

Thanks,
John
