I second what was said about the horizon, Also the water needs brightening up the clouds are too bright. you have blown highlights all throughout. When doing clouds they should have some bright spots but nothing should be totally blown. When I look at this photo my eye should go toward the water but the clouds brightness distracts and I end up looking more at the clouds. Lighten up the water and darken the clouds and you should have a much better photo.

First thing- horizon is not level. Generally I align my horizons so they "look" level. This doesn't mean they are level in relation to the topography, but that they visually feel level. Even if a photo is technically level, sometimes the terrain will throw things off and make it feel unnatural and that will be problematic for viewers. The ocean, we all know, is perfectly level.

Beyond this, your scene needs a bit of focus. Again, show us what you want us to see. The waves? Get low. The sky? Compose things in such a manner as to include things in a more organic fashion. The clouds seem cut off. Also, if they are your focus, keeping them exposed properly is paramount. This is also a trying scene in terms of dynamic range, so, either you expand the DR, or you pick and choose what you want to expose.
