I flown over that area 1000s (ok, probably 100s) of times.
Violent storms happen pretty quickly there with little warning.
Bad enough in an airplane where you can generally outrun or overfly them; given the fairly large number of shallow reefs in the area (as I understand it; not a sailor), I would think it would rather difficult.

I have spent a lot of time fishing there and can tell you that storms do happen pretty quick there and so do huge waves .
My uncle had a 29 foot cabin cruiser rigged up for fishing.
He and I were out fishing one day when an enormous wave came up on us out of no where , it took both of us grabbing the wheel to steer the boat into the wave to keep it from capsizing.
