Can't see what you want either, but perhaps upscaling footage of big waves would work best.

I should update the post...

 Without seeing exactly what you're
 doing you can always try precomping some fractal noise and
 using CC Glass.  Or use wave world and caustics. 
 Or a combination.
 If you just need a top-down view for a texture then you
 might get away with those techniques.  If you need
 interaction with the AE camera, or a different 3D camera
 view, then a 3rd party plugin is your only real
 option.  You can try using form if you're a masochist
 but it's difficult to get realistic water, if you need
 realism.
 Personally I really like playing around with wave work and
 caustics, but it can be tricky to get the look just
 right.  You really need several layers of bump maps
 working together.  I've got a tutorial on using them
 together to wave a flag, but if you replaced the flag
 texture with a water texture you'd have something the start
 with:

 Hi
 Is there a way to generate water in AE other than
 Tsunami?  I have it but oddly enough I can't seem to
 generate a "Tsunami".  I need to cover the earth with a
 giant wave and so it needs to be a sphere.  Any ideas?
 
 Thanks
