the 525 holds 275 yrds x 15 lb so at least half depends on what diamater your 30lb line will b

And it depends what thickness your 15lb line is too. You can get at least 350yds of 15lb 0.35 line on one. You can get 300yds on a 6500 and a 525 is a bigger reel.

I would guess you could get around 150yds of 30lb line (0.55mm) line on a 525. More than enough for a gentle lob.
Problems will be when the tide starts flooding and you need to retreat off your rock skeer, you might find yourself walking back and run out of line!!

150 yards will be more than enough as I am thinkin of fishing deep water anyway so it'll have to do haha cheers
