There is no doubt ditching in any conditions is going to be a high risk situation, I think the Pilot here did have to a degree a lucky outcome considering the wind and wave's.
Had a the plane been engulfed by a wave or a wing dug in sooner it could have been a whole different ugly outcome.
The big learning point for me from this would be to be getting out of that plane top priority and being fully prepared for that and any passengers properly briefed.
It was pretty shocking how quickly it went down.
