Honestly, I think it sounds a bit trite. Sorry.
It could be like a short story with a character who once in a while feels selfish. Can't tell if that character acts on the selfish urges from the hypothetical title.
Again--trite. And too long.

i dont want to put you down or discourage you
but it does sound a little try hard as a title
that doesnt mean it cant be an interesting concept to get you writing
to me it invokes instantly the struggle we all have balancing our needs with the needs of all others around us - most of us do function in waves - alternating acts of self centred behaviour with altruistic ones! - dont worry about sharp or catchy titles - get your story down and it will then lend itself to the right title - something simple like a selfish boy or my life in the waves would be better

It would be a very good title for a short story for life in the UK these days. Your story could be based on a middle-aged couple, driven to sell their home because of young people playing drum and bass through bass boxes - twice, in five years.
It would be an accurate assessment of the selfishness of society in the UK now.

Try to choose a better one. It sounds too commonplace. What about SHELLFISHNESS. These two words combined into a pun could be used to imply the hard protective covering that surrounds a selfish person in that he is not interested in other people (shell) and the state or condition of being selfish. Hope you like it!

I think the only way a story with this title could be interesting is if it actually made a play on the word "waves" - eg: if it were set on a beach, the ocean, etc.

Try: My parrot is a selfish. Also a great pun!
