Drake Passage between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica.

Besides the rough weather circulating off of Antarctica almost year round, the entire Pacific Current and Antarctic Circumpolar Current must flow through the opening between the two continents.

The longest "waiting on weather" I've ever experienced is of the southern coast of Argentina, and that includes the north sea, Norwegian continental shelf, and barrents sea.

The southern ocean. No land masses to break the incessant wind. The lattitudes are known as the roaring forties, furious fifties, and screaming sixties




You learn something new every day. My guess would have been the north sea.

You ain’t never seen rough waters until you start catching 1 foot seas in a Crawfish pond. Ca ca to say the least.

The Sea of Galilee can get downright nasty during storms, due to the climate and surrounding topography.

The Dead Sea. They call it that because people die from the vicious surf.

I've heard some horror stories about how rough it was in the North Sea from some old timers. Back in the 60s and 70s a lot of "down the bayou" men worked out there laying pipeline.
