The idiom "at sea"

Hi

Could you please tell me how common the English idiom "at sea" is among native speakers? Also, can it be used in formal writing?

With the new systems and procedures, she found herself completely at sea.

Thanks,

Tom

I would avoid it, though it does not seem particularly casual to me.
