A real nice calm day for sailing on the North Sea. I miss getting out like that.
You will hardly ever see video of foul weather on a ship. Cameras and wind, wave, spray, with violent pitching motion don't mix very well.
What they do is film at sea during nice sea conditions, and then tell landlubbers that it's of horrible foul weather.
That's what they did in that fakey movie, The Perfect Storm. The part that got to me was they had audio on. In a real storm one would not have audio of conversations between the crew turned on. All one would actually hear would be the roar of the storm, a deafening combination of sea sounds with crashing and groaning hull sounds from within the ship, which would drown out any normal voice conversations in the galley.
