I don't think they were in the Southern Ocean - at least that isn't where they are searching (when they find a non-broken plane to fly). We have had near record breaking bad weather, so so calling it rough out there is a serious understatement. We have a very nice break at the moment, so I hope the search goes A bit better. http://m.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=...

The Southern Ocean can get rather rough in winter. It's not the best time of year to be sailing in the open ocean there.
It can get quite rough in Summer. The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race frequently claims lives and it's in Summer.
That's the Tasman Sea I think - not that this is any better. The Tasman side of NZ is the wild side, and it gets pretty damn wild.
It's the Tasman and the South Pacific, the latter being precisely where someone going from NZ to SE Australia is sailing.
I meant to reply to the post yours is a parent of sorry. I get South Pacific as a description, its just Southern Ocean that seems a stretch.
