Pity the poor fishermen as my old gran used to say

Not being a nautical type I don't normally pay attention to the shipping
forecast, but after you post I had a look at the MetO warnings, e.g.

le&type=All

What really caught my eye was the Sea State detail, "Rough or very rough,
becoming high or very high, occasionally phenomenal later." I can only
imagine what "phenomenal" means. Like you said, "pity the poor fishermen".
