It could be. In your opinion. However there area couple of problems with using sea state anywhere en route.
Firstly, who is going to measure it?
And secondly, we all know that helicopters only crash near the offshore installations whilst taking off and landing, that's why we have the safety vessels lurking there...... Er, well, that used to be the perceived wisdom anyway! How many out of the 5? Oh yes, just one, the ETAP!
