It can sink the smaller ships in heavy seas, but the x2 is much more believable. The original 'Big Waves' mod was meant to get around the fact that SH3 winds can only go to 15 m/s, which is a fairly calm day at sea. With x2 you can pretend the wind is blowing twice as strongly.

The recommended setting is 'Seasonal', which makes it x2 in winter, x1.5 in spring and fall, and x1 in summer.
