Here is the latest video to DF's analysis on the game Sea of Thieves.

So do they confirm that the waves are calculated by the "power of the cloud"?

This all their in depth analysis on that

A complex, dynamic wave system has been engineered, enabling a wide variety of conditions ranging from a calm, clear ocean to powerful, tempestuous storms. The waves are synchronised between individual systems too, allowing the simulation to line up between each console when playing together online.

I doubt the cloud does anything, just makes sure each console is generating the same combination.

Anyway didn't AC 4 already have dynamic oceans. No multiplayer though.
