    My favorite method is find a ripples in water texture, desaturate it, and then it is using it on layers with Overlay and or Multiply above the color layer. (Making it into a seamless tile works amazing. Been using it for years.)

    AND then if you want to get fancy, you can draw highlights and shadows on the waves to make it pop out of the image. For the water breaking on the shore, I'd use a random cloud brush and use colors from real waves and for the highlights use low opacity swipes to get that random spray, and for the darker parts higher opacity.
