you see, the moon also has gravity, but not as much as earth. so earth and the moon have a "tug-of-war" game for the waves. the farther the moon, the lesser the tides. that's why there is high tide and low tide.
I'm sorry if this isn't what your looking for, and i hope this helps.

Explain the relationship between local particles vibrations and overall wave motion?
Most waves are caused by a vibrating object. Electromagnetic waves may be caused by charged particles.
What is the relationship between various em waves?
wave
Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
How long is wavelength?
A wavelength is the distance between 2 successive waves (sound waves, ocean waves, or any other wave.)
How are ocean waves made?
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds cause larger waves.
Do ocean waves have wavelengths longer than sound waves?
Both ocean waves and sound waves have a fairly large range of wavelengths - for example, there is a ratio of about 1:1000 between the frequencies (and therefore, also the wavelengths) of sound we can hear. Therefore, there is quite a bit of overlap.
ARE ocean waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Ocean waves are transverse waves because they move up and down.
Is ocean waves are a part of the environment?
Yes, ocean waves are part of the environment.
What type of mediums are ocean waves?
Ocean waves are NOT mediums of any sort.
How does the stadium wave differ from a real ocean wave?
Stadium waves differ from real ocean waves because ocean waves use water and stadium waves use people.
What is the relationship between the movement of the waves and the movement of the particles of the medium?
The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.
What is the Hz of an ocean wave?
-- If the ocean waves lap the shore every 15 seconds then their frequency is 1/15 Hz.-- If the waves come every 30 seconds then the frequency is 1/30 Hz.-- If the waves come every minute (60 seconds) then their frequency is 1/60 Hz....etc.In general, the frequency of ocean waves, and any other waves, is1/the number of seconds between consecutive waves
