Can kraken spawn in safer Seas?

Could it be possible for the fabled creature known as the kraken to make its presence known in waters considered to be relatively calm and safe? Is there any scientific basis or historical account that would suggest the existence of these mythological sea monsters in environments typically devoid of the treacherous conditions they are often associated with? Are there any documented cases of kraken-like creatures being spotted in seemingly peaceful seas, challenging the traditional narrative of their habitat?
