Actually they are quite practical right now. I was over in Hawaii a number of years ago and saw the Department of Energy's OTEC project. Pretty impressive! There were a few engineering problems 25 years ago but those have been pretty much resolved at this time. For Hawaii it makes a lot of sense to generate electricity cleanly.

If you do some Google searches you can find a lot of info on wave energy conversion projects. England and Scotland have been working in this area for a number of years now with some demonstration projects.
