A lot depends on what the scene is, and where the camera is.  Small
ripples won't be very noticible if the camera is a few hundred units up,
and large waves won't stupify if the camera is hovering a scane 0.00*y
above the surface.

What are you trying for?  A shimmy-shake H20 molecule?  A don'cha
droplet?  A doggies' puddle?  A swaying pond?  A veronica Lake?  A
Botany Bay?  A Canu Sea?  An Indian Ocean?  The PRO-verbial water vapor
canopy?

I'm trying to do like everyone else, a landscape scene. With the camera pretty
high up and a wide lens, to catch up as much as possible.

"pretty high up" = a few meters in the real world

I was kinda fishing for whatever *scale* you are using in your scene. 
Some people feel comfortable creating a sphere at <0, 0, 0> with a
radius of 0.001 and the camera at -0.002*z looking at it, whereas other
people would have a radius of 1 (POV unit) and have the camera back at
about -5*z (POV units) looking at it, and yet others demand to have a
radius of 24000 and the camera at -45338*z.

Hint: This is where you show us your source code.
