This sentence
Sea state forecast to be quite exceptional
was referring to Florida

I realise that what has happened so far is quite exceptional.

Hurricanes often do not produce swell heights as large as you might expect, due to the tight curvature of the isobars, and limited area affected. High latitudeNorth Atlantic winter depressions frequently do a much better job, due to the great circle route affected.

Irma is pretty impressive by any viewpoint.

Yes, but I see the eye is clipping the coast of Cuba and its appearance
has suffered quite a bit.
