Unfortunatly none of the SH game reflect the reality, which is that wave buildup takes hundreds of miles of travel for the wind. Harbors are built in bays, which means that there is no time for wave buildup, which is why we have the term "safe harbor" (or "safe haven"). There should never be more than heavy ripples in a harbor unless a hurricane is blowing through.

And they've never gotten it right, and no mod made has fixed it.
