If I had the parts at my disposal, I would use transparent light blue studs as the water (but only if it was in a tropical/paradisal area, otherwise I would use dark blue) and then for the waves I would swish them about in between each frame and for when the water rolls up onto the shore I would just move them forwards slightly each frame, and when they go as far as they can I would add clear studs for the foam, and then animate the water retreating back into the sea.
(Shameless self promotion ) In this videoI used the studs I was talking about, although I didn't animate them (probably because I either didn't think about doing it or I was too lazy )
