When you’re cruising against the wind with your power boat, do the waves represent an extra resistance?

I live near a very windy and gusty harbour, and I want to build my own commuter boat to go to work with. The winds here are often blowing at about 30-50mph. I imagine that it will be a good idea to have a very aerodynamic, low upper body for my boat to ensure I don’t get blown backwards while going forward at full speed. But I wonder, too if the waves that are being blown over the surface and are coming straight at me when going against the wind represent an extra resistance for which I would have to make some clever allowances. Does anybody know?
Thanks very much.

    Personally, I wouldn’t want to be out on a home made boat in 50 MPH winds!
