From what I know, (or feel perhaps, ...) in the absence of heat or chaotic movement of atoms in a cold substance, atoms have a harder time differentiating themselves from neighboring atoms.
So a sort of resonance can develop where large groups of atoms begin to act like one huge atom, but this effect has only been observed at temperatures near absolute zero.
The quantum might come from the maximum wave height in relation to the wave frequency before a wave curls and breaks into turbulence.
I have no doubt that it would be easier to observe resonance in a fluid that contained no current.
So some sort of resonance to create large waves in still sea water seems plausible, but where would the driving amplitude come from?
