Everyones comfort zone is different. I would say 12 to 15 knts. will produce some wind waves and/or white caps but very doable for some. Use caution and all available safety means possible...

I don't like to go out if the wind is stronger than about 8 mph, if it is cold I don't like more than about 5 mph. I fished some really crappy weather when I was in the WCW contest, I don't do that anymore. Waves don't bother me but wind does.
