Try this:
"A Simple Model of Ocean Waves" - Alain Fournier, William T. Reeves - ACM
0-89791-196-2/86/008/0075

If you can't find the paper online, drop me a mail and I'll reply with a pdf
attached (quite large, 4MB or so).

Another one could be:
"Modeling Waves and Source" - Darwyn R. Peachey - ACM
0-89791-196-2/86/008/0065

Both of these models are largely superseded by Fedkiw and Foster models (of
"Shrek"
fame), but, due to their semplicity, are attractive for use in small
projects.

Fournier and Reeves model is particulary attractive for the ease of control
it gives to the animator.
