kpmamabear Posted November 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2019 We've never cruised the North Sea, we are cruising from Dublin to Norway. Should we expect rough seas in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Seas can be rough at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted November 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Maybe yes, maybe no. We sailed Northsea 3 times without any rough seas. Maybe you are lucky, nobody knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GastroGnome Posted November 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Depends on your route. If you are heading south from Dublin, through the English channel and then upward you have a better chance of calmer seas than if you are going north around Scotland. There is a patch between the Island of Ireland and Iceland which is fairly notorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartanexile81 Posted November 30, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Impossible to say really. I've cruised North from Southampton - which is probably the route you'll take.....??- several times at different times of year I don't think it's ever been completely calm and I've had a couple of very rough crossings.

angie7911922 Posted December 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If you are sensitive to rough seas you should be prepared at any time. I have cruised the north sea with calm seas. Once we were on the way to Monte Carlo and we had very rough seas. (so rough a window broke in the Main dining room). So I guess you never know....
