Don't count on that. When the wind blows, the waves kick up just like
big water anywhere else. I don't know how many people die around here
every year due to misjudging the weather, but it happens on a fairly
regular basis. Bring a serious open water boat unless you're planning
on staying in the rivers and bayous.

Yeah, I've spent some time on both, and it is relative. You don't
take chances. But in my limited experience you'll find the gulf more
often less bumpy than the Atlantic.
