All you can do at that point is keep heading into it until it decreases a bit. Most ships don't have the power to turn in that situation. Plus if you try to go too fast you will damage the hull, steel pushes in etc.

I have been in rougher seas than that, Atlantic and the Med, but the ship was at least twice that length, so not as bad situation.
