I'm not sure the analogy is valid. Formation of ocean waves is simply a matter of fluid mechanics. Remember that quantum theory is best applied at the subatomic level. Classical mechanics works fine for the macroscopic world. It isn't that quantum theory is invalidated. Its just that its effects are more observably manifest on small distance scales. Trying to apply it at classical scales is pretty much a useless exercise, because the quantum effects become vanishingly small, at least in terms of observability.

As far as "stuffing protons inside a hydrogen nucleus", remember that a hydrogen nucleus in its most common form is simply a proton, so the "stuffing into a nucleus" becomes more a problem of simply joining another particle. This is difficult with a charged particle like another proton, but it can be done if you have enough energy. Fusion reactions that are done in things like tokamaks and the older-style stellators used D-D or D-T reactions. I used to run D-D reactions all the time in a simple linear accelerator when I was a physics student. It was a source of relatively energetic neutrons. We also ran D-T reactions with a tritiated target and a deuteron beam. That produces 14 MeV neutrons. The simplest nucleus beyond hydrogen is the deuteron, wherein a neutron is "joined" to a proton. It is just barely stable. A little bit of added energy (relatively speaking) will separate them.

Quantum theory was developed by observing very small events in discrete units of matter.

Rogue waves were found to be both identifiable and predictable through the simple expedient of watching for them from satellites orbiting the Earth.

Distance effectively reduces the scale so the quantum effects become visible ~ to wit, the towering rogue wave standing out among its brethren.

A similar approach resolved the orbit problem associated with Mercury.

The math should apply to matter manifest as waves!
