Depending on what type of wave shot you're looking for I tend to use a high shutter speed, continual focus mode, expanded (but not full) focus area, and an ISO of 200-400.
Also, it helps to spend a few minutes watching the waves. See where, how, and when they break, and then try to catch a good one.
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

just keep taking photos of the waves and there always be some good ones, that's how I do it.:))
A good photo of a wave is most of the time a lucky shot.
as rob pointed out - it depends on what you want - if you want to 'freeze' the action then you need a fast ISO and aperture or even use flash fill if you're in close. for a 'dreamier' effect - especially if the waves are broken up with rocks - long exposures work really well.
