Rough seas do for Black Sea port (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odessa

'black sea port' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rough seas do' is the wordplay.
'rough' indicates an anagram.
'seas'+'do'='seasdo'
'seasdo' is an anagram of 'ODESSA'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for odessa that I've seen before include "Ukrainian Black Sea port" , "Ukrainian naval base" , "Do seas come into Ukrainian city?" , "Port city on the Black Sea" , "Ukrainian location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
