Yes TM but the limitation is associated with the ditching approval:
Action A6: With effect from 01 September 2014, the CAA will prohibit helicopter operators from conducting offshore flights, except in response to an offshore emergency, if the sea state at the offshore location that the helicopter is operating to/from exceeds the certificated ditching performance of the helicopter.
Sea State 4 (which is the base line approval for most medium offshore helicopters - and some of the larger) is a significant wave height of 1.25m - 2.5m (4ft - 8ft).
It was this that was being referred to.
