That seems excessive to me, but you say "relatively calm". If you look at some of the film clips of ships in storms, the water actually looks "relatively calm". What was the wind speed when you tested?

@ATR-42: I'm used to SH3 and the 'Big Waves' mod, which makes the sea twice as high as the in-game wind speed would indicate, so the maximum speed now approximates 30 m/s, or 60+ knots. It gives a lot more variation.

As for SH4, I still haven't been able to play it, so I have no real feel for what's going on in the game.
