It's entirely possible to have gale or hurricane force winds last for weeks at a time.
Storms of that duration were described by buchheim in das Boot, and historically, the winter weather of the 1940s got worse with each successive season.
In a hurricane, you could have 3 weeks of nasty winds/waves, hit the eye, have a few days of nice, calm weather, and then as soon as the storm wall catches up with you, back to another 3 weeks of being bounced and tossed around.
I also have not taken much issue with the way the weather is modelled in the stock game, it does the job well enough.
