Ocean waves are defined as a collection of dislocated water parcels that undergo a cycle of being forced passed their normal position and being restored back to their normal position. Wind caused ripples and eddies form waves that gradually gain speed and distance. Waves increase in energy and speed, and then become longer and stronger. The fully developed sea has the strongest wave action that experiences storms lasting 10 hours and creates 15 meter wave heights in the open ocean. The waves created in the open ocean are classified as deep water waves. Deep water waves have no bottom interaction and the orbits of these water molecules are circular, their wavelength is short relative to water depth and the velocity decays before the reaching the bottom of the water basin. Wind forces waves to break in the deep sea. Deep water waves travel to shore and become shallow water waves. Shallow wavelengths are long relative to water depth and have elliptical orbital. The wave velocity affects the entire water basin. The water interacts with the bottom as it approaches shore and has a drag interaction. The drag interaction pulls on the bottom of the wave, causes refraction, increases the height, and decreases the celerity and the top fall over. This phenomenon happens because the velocity of the top of the wave is greater than the velocity of the bottom of the wave. This speed is relative because local onshore winds can cause waves to break. In the surf zone, shallow water waves are carried by global winds to the beach and interact with local winds to make surfing waves.
