I agree, big seas for sure but if you watch they are linear wave lines coming from the same direction, he was taking a long time putting the bow into the sea and the boat was floundering to a 45 degree pitch because of it.
Normally the only time he would be beam too in such conditions is when he decides to make a turn to change course for some reason. Usually not done unless absolutely needed, very dangerous in such seas. At least that is my understanding.
