    What kind of break do you ride? I'm almost the same size and I ride a 6' 8" in the beach breaks and a 7' 4" out at the reefs but we have pretty good waves most of the time here, I like the 7' 4" a lot but if it gets much bigger than 8 to 10' I go to an 8', they are all performance shapes

Length is that, just length. Shapers indicate three parameters when finishing a board - Length, Width, Thickness. All three of those make up a boards size, you could ride a 5'9 which is thick and wide with loads of volume, or you could ride a narrow board up to the 6'5 mark. Try Firewire's "Volume Calculator" as it will give you a broad idea on the volume your board should have. http://www.firewiresurfboards.com/surfboards_volume_calc.php I would attempt to go for around the 5'11 to 6'2 range, just because you don't need too much foam hanging out in front :)
