You won't be able to make an actual wave with them. What you can do is just play with the timings and see how your corals respond and then stick with what works for your tank.

A true wave would require a wavebox or controllable powerheads powerful enough to make a wave.

Vortechs or wavebox, but a wave isnt really all that beneficial, its kind of gimmicke. Just stick with good flow.
