Bismillah
as salam alykom
I found this relevant hadeeth
Narrated Ahmed that Omar Ibn Al Khattab said that he heard the Messenger salla Allah a`alyhee wa sallam said: Not one night except that the sea gets prepared three times asking Allah's Permission to flood over people but Allah may He be Glorified prevents it" (reported by Ahmed)
Sobhan Allah the waves are nothing but part of Allah's soldiers, they are commanded and instructed to take this and leave that.
