That isn't rough.

According to another comment, the Candela can handle waves of up to 1.2 meters. But about half of waves in the open ocean are 2+ meters. So this boat can't handle a normal ocean sea.

This is Sweden. I've lived in the east coast of Sweden for 10 years, never seen a wave and there is water everywhere.

Now I'm from Portugal, so… no comparison really.

Yes. The east coast of Sweden is the Baltic Sea, which is not an open ocean. This boat may be perfectly usable there. But that's still not a rough sea. Other than temperature, that is water that I'd be perfectly comfortable swimming in.
