You'll likely need more than just a polariser.

Polariser will cut out up to 2 stops of light and remove some reflections, to get the smooth water look you'll likely need more ND filters on top (or a very low light shooting or both).

You dont mention what lens?

IMO something like the cokin P (or kood) CPL and ND's is a good place to start, with addaptor rings for your lens sizes.
