If you keep watching you see the effect of on of the major bugs which is part of the odd wave riding "feature."
Watch your text readout of your depth in the lower right corner. When you see the boat reach the bottom of a trough and the keel is out of the water, you'll see depth 20 ft. It's at this point the deck crew abandons station (while the boat "appears" to be high and dry.) When the boat is riding the peak of a wave and one crashes over the bridge, the depth indicator will read "13 ft" and the deck crew are happy as clams with their salt water bath. It's time like this I watch the interior crew managment station closely for a while. If I see the deck crew popping off and on frequently, I will pull the plug for 8-12 hours. If I don't do this, the crew which are not on station do not rest. They are forced to "wake up" every time the active crew pops up and down the hatch.
It's behaviour like this that causes me to believe there is some reverse code in the weather feature which makes itself most known at max sea state. Most of the other times, the wave riding appears acceptable enough I'm not bothered by it. Probably one of the reasons the devs don't want to mess with it because so many of the game's features are triggerd by various sea states and vessel depths.
