The wave doesn’t touch a cloud. The “cloud” is actually sea spray, aerosol particles that are formed directly from the ocean, mostly by ejection into the atmosphere by bursting bubbles at the air-sea interface (definition via Wikipedia). Also, clouds don’t form at very low altitude like in this video.

This video was taken by Conor Hegyi. Below is a show-reel including the short clip at 3:36. More important than the missing cloud is the fact the the original video is of much better quality and deserves attribution.
