Can't, as far as I know. I built walls, drained away, and even obsidian casted the ocean, still got the waves.

I'd say this is part of the game that should need a code rewrite.
A lot of optimizations could be done here ( have a fixed 2 - 3 calculations so that you get different waves and generate new ones at X intervalls depending on cpu speed and utilization) , but then again that would be up to Toady to do and when to do.

Flooring over doesn't work either I take it?
Also, how the hell does an obsidian casted ocean still have waves?

I'd assume the same way waves go .5 km into islands. Sheer force.

But, if you obsidian-casted the ocean, why did you embark near an ocean in the first place. :p

Thought I could get myself a giant sperm whale. One didn't show up after 5 years there.

Thought it would look cool.
Didn't expect such bad performance.

Oceans definitely still need to be optimized. Theoretically though if you were to floor over the beach area it would stop the waves, since it would change the tile to regular ground tile if i'm not mistaken?
