It could be a spot in the landscape where it's close to the water level in height, but too far from tiles that are actually low enough to have water on them. Then the wave rendering is making the water level go higher then the tiles. Water will only render within a certain threshold of tiles that are below the water level height.

Can see it happen pretty easily if you set the wave height mod so the waves are as tall as the sky. The waves only render half a tile or so into the land, even ifthey are higher then the land. You'll see a wall of waves and see under the ocean.
