>>How does the rough sea influence the magnetic detonator?
Wave disturbances. A lot of waves can confuse a magnetic influence detonator, and have it prematurely explode thinking its near a ship when it's not. This is modeled in game. In TMO the rougher the seas, the greater the chance of a premature explosion. The odds of a premature detonation in rough weather are much greater then the odds of getting a dud impact hit. In rough weather, take your chances with the impact pistol. It may be a dud, but at least it was able to get to the ship to have the chance to find out.
