If you want to talk about the waves being big, you can say “rough seas.” If you want to talk about it being windy and rainy, you can use general-purpose terms like “storm,” or you can also use some terms that are sea-related like “squall” (a sudden storm) or “tempest” (an old-fashioned word for storm that is often used in relation to the sea)>.
