But since he did, I'll toss in my 2 cents (even though the OP has probably already bought a boat and drawn his own conclusion)...
The Wave is a fun boat, super easy to rig, lots of volume for it's size. For experienced sailors or those looking for excitement, it really only becomes exciting around 20 mph and higher windspeed. But in those conditions it is a lot of fun. Under 10 mph windspeed, it can be a bit of a bore, but then, not everyone is looking for roller coaster ride excitement every time they sail. The wave does well in ocean conditions, but is a bit low on power and doesn't have a jib, so launching into surf (especially if the wind is onshore) may be a bit of a challenge.
The H16 was born and bred in the California surf, sailed and raced in probably just about every ocean on the planet, used for the Worrell 1000 mile race up the Atlantic coast, etc., etc. These boats were purposefully designed for being launched into the surf and sailed in the ocean, so you're not really going to find a more capable beach cat in that regard.
