Oregon Coast, need some help

I am in the beginning stages of processing some shots I took last week
in Oregon.

I got a few shots of blasting waves and I was looking at some black and white options.

Below are two different B&W options using Silver Efex and a color option as well. Any options pro or con would be appreciated. I need to know about going forward or scrapping this and trying something else.

B&W 1

I like B&W 2 better than #1. #1 has a huge wave covering half the photo. #2 wave is still big, but not taking over the frame. The sky is visible in #2. I think there is a good mix of light to dark shades in #2. #3 is too bright in my opinion. It's hard to distinguish the wave from the sky.

Thanks for the comments, definitely see your point on number 3.

Again, thanks!
