Not sure that is a good trade off. Wind can occur anytime and with great frequency. I live on the end of Meredith Neck across from the south end of Bear Island. This area sees a great amount of boat traffic. The wake action is heavy on Saturday and Sunday from noon to five during July and August. Other than that it is not bad. We are protected from the wind so we do not have to deal with that. There are always means to deal with wind or wave action on your boats, such as lifts or whips.
I would not buy a property solely based on wind or wakes. You need to look at the big picture. Water depth and clarity, wind or wake, size of land and house, age and needed repairs to the structure, views, distance to stores and services, cost of the house,ect ect should all be considered.
Look at every house in your price range. If you dont find the right one then put it off for a few months and then return to the process. We looked at 60 homes before making a purchase three years ago. At some point you will know the right house when you see it.
