IIRC the water displacement on open seas is super modest, only when the thing hits shallower water near the coast does it become a problem Edit: [VIDEO] They're a few miles off the coast, ~10 m high waves, 38 m deep water according to some comment that translates the audio. pretty scary vid, for sure.
