It's no font. The two 'e's are made differently, therefore it can't be one. It is made letter for letter.

That logo would've been made in a photo manipulation program like Photoshop, using layers and/or masking. It looks like the artist took a basic, sans serif font, put it in italics, rasterized it, then overlayed a picture of waves on a seperate layer, then used a blend option to create the effect of the letters appearing to be made of waves. Photoshop is fun.

Well you could also type out the word in Illustrator. As stated before, slant it and then with the pen tool, just trace out the sections you want removed from the font as their own parts. Then outline the font and go into your pathfinder tab and hit subtract from object area and you'll get the effect you're looking for.
If you want the exact weathering on the letters, its best to take the jpg you posted there, bring it into Illustrator as its own layer, double click that layer, set it to 50% opacity and lock it. Then make a layer above it in the layers palette and trace over every opening and weathering on the letters, creating vector shapes you can then apply to your properly typed out and outlined font.
S'all right? S'all right.
