The trick here is to use the right shutter speed. I usually use anywhere from 1/4 to 1 full second of exposure depending on the waves. A shorter exposure will let you freeze the action better and the waves will be sharper, more recognizable; a longer exposure time will blur motion to the point that if you use something like 30sec +, it will be all smooth and "cotton candy" like. You will most likely need a neutral density filter to block some of the light, cause even if you use the lowest f stop and ISO, it's still probably gonna be way too bright to use 1/4s exposure.
Another thing to keep in mind is the timing of the waves when you are composing. An incoming wave adds more dynamic to the picture, makes the waves seem more "angry" almost like an explosion; while an outgoing wave like the one I posted here will appear much more peaceful and will give you the fine lines which is great to use as leading lines.
Finally, use burst mode on your camera. Chances are you don't get the position of the waves perfect every time and the composition is off(especially for the incoming waves), so use burst mode and "shoot first, ask later".
Yep, a B+W 0.9 ND Filter
