Question On shore waves.

Hey guys. I am wanting to make an ocean shader with a on shore waves.

I have found tutorials that can help me get some reasonable waves. But I am trying to figure out the on shore waves that i can blend in with the main ocean waves.

I want the waves to be able to come from all around my islands. So not just in the same direction. I am thinking I could create a gradient around my islands in Photoshop. Is there a way I could use this gradient and animate waves in its direction?

Some kind of way to use this gradient for the UVs
