Portnahaven Waves

Today we visited Portnahaven on the isle of Islay. I drove the whole way there which i was pleased with seeing as it is the other side of the island to where my gps live. This town is very exposed and i managed to get some good pictures of the waves. struggled a bit with water reflecting the sun. Would a polarizing filter help minimize this? Think i will try that next time and see if it helps at all.
