Not enough line from the boat to the mooring ball. Depends on how steep and close the swells are that come in. To stay on the safe side make it 1 1/2 - 2 times the boat length. You just don't want it to jerk from the buoy and dip the stern in. The longer the line - the better it can bob through the trough of the waves.
