A realistic watermaterial is still missing for Cycles.
Augus3D with it's Lightray-Patch (or however it's called) wants to do a Nodesetup to make it work.
I agree with roofoo, the simulation seems a bit slow. I've never been out on the ocean so I'm far from any kind of expert, but my brains saying it looks like slowed footage. Other than that it looks very convincing to me.
Very convincing swell effect. Spend some time on a boat mate. Your ocean simulator will get a whole new look. I'm not convinced by all this 'physical realism' that exists in CG. People who have had training in animation should relish the chance to express 'oceanness' using shape keys surely;

very nice water :D You should add some foam to it to make it more life like :)
Download broken?
Don't think so - it works for me.
Blender 2.64?
Is this why you get a black render with the current build 2.63a?
Did a test a bit like this a while back: https://vimeo.com/32523049
Is foam working with cycles now?
wow, that looks extra realistic. I was also wondering does foam work in cycles?
Its nice, but there were internal renderings which looked more realistic to me

It looks slow-motion to me.

same problem: black render. It links to a jpg file that is missing in the download.... :(
It works with 2.64 test build, needs some tweaks of lights to obtain the photo likeness, though. Good work.

but the rendering produced is not like the image and I'm not sure if this is the best node setup for water.
hdr lightening?
Looks like it's a broken link, what you posted...
