Yup, and there are at least two companies that make wave power machines: one is a large buoy type, that is essentially a large shake flashlight, and the other is a long hinged "snake" that has hydraulic pumps at each hinge. The latter type are in use in the North Sea.

Tidal power is also a working thing - they are usually underwater slow-moving turbines. The Bay of Fundy in particular has YUUUGE potential for tidal power.
