I run the latest TMO+RSRD+TRAVELLER MODS.

I have seen huge wave sea states and whipping winds so it does happen. I have had it so rough I can barely use the TDC ... It will keep throwing me back into the boat because we are so underwater while actually on the surface. The sea can get very rough.

Well, the game basically limits wind at 15mps which is the basic switch for waves.

Wind speeds can hit max in clear weather, so no way to tie a wave pattern to a storm only. You cetainly can mod bigger waves, but who wants 50 ft swells on a sunny day. You could change storm sounds to be more drastic, some mods do this.

Waterspouts are cool looking too, I've seen them off the carolina coast. Front moving off shore and sun still beaming on the other half of horizon.
But again with the complex coding and script to make this happen.

These are some waves/swells I did long ago. You have to find a balance, because even these made it about impossible for the sub to stay surfaced, often you would go under and the eletrics would cut on, so your speed can really vary. The other issue is it can wreck some ships and slow them way down as well. All that would be well and good in a storm, but again, due to code, you get same waves on a clear day.

It is cool having them during a storm, along with some great wind and thunder sound files. Think I even used one file that had the sound of a large water spout.

Huge waves are not unrealistic on a sunny day. I can remember days when I was in the Navy where it was a bright sunny day and we had 15 and 20 foot swells and other days where the sea was perfectly calm but the rain was going completely sideways with a 60 knot wind.

The sea can be completely predictable and completely unpredictable. Mod away I say ... no matter how it comes out I bet the oceans have shown it one way or another.
