First go buy "Learning Maya 7, Maya Unlimited Features." It has a great ocean creation walk through. Then I sat down and tried to make a tidal wave for ya...this is what I came up with.
The Ocean was done under the Fluid Effects>Create Ocean, and then the settings were just adjust for wave height, frequency, wind speeds, foam, color, etc.
I am sure you can work with a bunch of the settings, because there are a million of them, to make it just what you want. I did all this in like 20 minutes, so if you really take the time I am sure you can get it to look real nice. I didnt try to animate it but I am sure you can just set the ocean to be normal (attachment 1) and then set a time point to make the wave (attachment 2)...
Enjoy.

This is the wave from the movie...I am trying to get something similar....
they talk a bit about it and how they did the cg effects HERE
so amazing..The fluid effects are totally beyond me in this film...They made new sofware for the fluid to interact naturally with the ship etc....100 people to make it..Then they needed new hardware just to run it....Nothing was fast enough...

I am not sure if it is possible, but you could try to have 1 small ocean that has the huge wave, and another ocean that is calm seas, overlay the two and get that effect. As for the wave breaking over itself, that is another huge problem, I am not even sure if the animation for the ocean can even do that in maya...
