Ask the watch officer for a weather report and get the direction the wind/storm is coming from. The game does have a decent stock weather system(Unless GWX changed it a bit.)
Either way the storms are somewhat real. If I steer the ship into the wind of a strong storm I usually can get out of it in half a day, two days if I'm near Scotland. Try asking for the weather report. Wind direction is the direction the wind is coming from. Head right towards that bearing or as close as possible to "out run" the storm.
