seasick
Queasy from waves
Seasick describes the nausea and dizziness caused by the motion of a boat or ship.
The rocking disrupts the inner ear's sense of balance, producing queasiness that can range from mild discomfort to debilitating illness: I got seasick on the ferry crossing.
The condition typically subsides once back on stable ground.
