Personal opinion. For most kayak less than 4m is not recommended for offshore. but you will need to consider more on the design of the kayak if you are looking at going offshore.
I have fished offshore South West Rock with a hobie revolution 13 (4m long), while my friend fished in a Hobie Outback (3.68). We fished out form the shore up to 2km from the shore. In a calm day, it is not bad. But if end up in a strong wind and strong current, you will struggle,
I feel Ok in my revolution13, while my friend in Outback feels nerve breaking. For a longer kayak like mine, I get a bit wet, but it slice through rough wave/water better than Outback. Outback, with wider body, ends up get affected by wind/wave much easier than my revolution.
To truely off-shore type of kayak, in hobie range (peddle kayak), you will be looking at either Hobie AI or the Hobie revolution 16/13. Any other hobie range is not recommended for off-shore.
In paddle kayak, you will be looking at few of the well known fiberglass kayak, like the Stealth Kayak , Kaskazi, Pennicle, or the Clarkeski (these are mostly made in South Africa, but they have distributor in Australia). For non fibreglass, then you might look into Ocean Kayak or Vikings.
These kayak are designed to be slime, and longer than 4m (in fact some model are up to 6m long). They are designed to have secondary bouyancy than primary bouyance (lookup Kayak primary and secondary bouyancy).
