calm seas
Glassy ocean surface
Calm seas are waters with little or no wave action—smooth, flat, and easy to navigate.
The phrase often appears figuratively to describe periods of stability or peace after difficulty: After months of turmoil, the company finally reached calm seas.
The opposite is rough seas or stormy seas.
