We used to have the odd bit of rough weather during ny time in the Navy, one particular memory of coming from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand with some other ships and an aircraft carrier, well, the swells were so big the carrier literally disappeared from view at times and for us on the smaller ships it was a real rough crossing. Have also crossed the Tasman Sea when it has been absolutely like a mill pond the whole way across. Have a look at this, very bumpy rides.
