Anybody know if this storm was well-predicted?
Yes, WELL predicted.

Locally, trips offshore have been cancelled since Friday.... and
starting Saturday, hurricane force winds with seas increasing to 24-34
feet. Judging from the weather reports, I wouldn't wan to be out there
until this Friday.

I can only guess that the coasties got their chimes rung, too, while
trying to save those nitwits.

Yeah, you wonder why somebody would get caught in those seas if it
was entirely avoidable.
