Modeling Choppy Water?

I dont want waves, i just want a little chop so it doesnt look completly flat, and was wondering the best way to do it?

I guess you can scale it down (on the z axis) to make it not really waves

Do you need to animate? Adding a cloud texture as a displacement modifier will give decent results for stills.
