Actually waves do not travel far at all as it is the motion of the water (in an up down up) relationship. Hence an event that causes the waves (such as wind, the most common causes of waves) will not be the same water that arrives shore side. Hence the wave motion can travel around the world (in extreme circumstances) yet the water will only have traveled inches or feet. You can test this as you swim in an ocean and have the wave go over your head. Notice the pulling up and pushing down as it passes overhead. Floating an object will show the same.
