It depends on which forecast you looked at , Windy was the worst. Weatheronline showed no more than 4.5meter waves, similarly not too bad for stormsurfing and buoy weather. Neither for met office shipping forecast.
Unfortunately windy is official saga provider. Clearly the incident the previous cruise made Saga ultra cautious, whether it was the correct decision, depends on point of view. Even the Windy forecast bad weather forecast wasn't in same league as last cruise. Note neither low was ever a named storm, unlike Ceiron and Domingo.
