Breaking waves can be detrimental. Put on your PDF. Read Storm Tactics now. Avoid a course parallel to the waves. A breaking wave 30% of your boat length hitting directly from your side (90 degrees to the course) has a good chance of rolling over a sailboat and is nearly certain to roll over a power boat. The sailboat will recover, the powerboat unlikely. 30% of a 20 footer is a 6 foot wave. Keep water moving around the rudder, critical in the trough and wave top where water's speed is near 0. But avoid running so fast down a wave face that the bow buries into the next wave otherwise you run the risk of flipping end for end (pitch poling). Bigger boat is safer, foot for foot sailboats are far better equipped and designed for rough weather than powerboats.
