What would the clouds of a planet with 100% surface water look like?

A planet in one of my solar systems has 100% of its surface covered in deep water, many hundreds of kilometers deep. Some criteria relating to the planet.
- It's fairly close to its host, a sunlike star.
- It has no major moons, and has a somewhat breathable atmosphere around 5 times as dense as the earth's
- It has a mass of approximately 7 earths, and a surface gravity of 14.3m/s squared.
- The water itself would be at or near boiling almost all of the time at the equator and likely falls back to the surface in the form of rain around the poles.
My issue comes with depicting it in artwork or renders, with no knowledge of what would happen to air currents on such a world.
