 I don't want to turn the water into a vertex object, but I do want to fade the transition from the waves into the background... I tried blurring but didn't have good results.  Is this best done in post production?

 You can always add a gradient or a texture map to the Alpha channel to pull this off.

SparrowHawke3D's MipMapper plugin might be useful for this kind of thing too. He makes some good stuff.

You can use a fog effect to get the blend too.

If you change the scale of the ocean object and its parameters, you can get a very large object with the same wave size you have in your scene. Then you could fade it away with the under water haze.

You can replicate the ocean too, its a good way to dont touch in parameters and get a large ocean surface... then next do what Patrck said: use haze

Thank you everyone - I'll give the replication a try.

I don't see how replication will work, you will probably have seams. My suggestion will work for sure. It's easy to make a large ocean object.
