It looks great
you are right, though about the wet-dry line
in reality, there is no such line. youl need a wide "border" not a line
and you might want to add foam... even if there are no waves, ther is,
usually, a thin layer of foam floating on water near the coast line.

other than that the scene looks quite realistic
keep up the good work
