That only happens when there is a residual sea due to bad weather earlier in the week. Usually if the weather has been settled for a while and the residual sea gone down it's flat as a pancake. With a good blow of Southerly winds against a North going tide it can cause quite a chop too. The answer is quite simple though, get another hull!
