Water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to gravityThats easy!
Energy moves forward in a wave.
Waves do not transport matter (except fot the matter equivalent of energy, according to the Theory of Relativity). For example, in a water wave, the wave moves on, but each water particle goes back to its place.Waves do not transport matter (except fot the matter equivalent of energy, according to the Theory of Relativity).

the upper part of the wave moves faster
Water does not travel along with the wave. As the wave moves over the water, each little piece of water moves up and down and forward and back, but after the wave has moved on the water is in the same place. That is a common feature of wave motion. The energy is passed along the wave but the medium itself does not move with the wave.
The fastest seismic wave that also moves back and forth is the P-wave.

That's because the water doesn't move, either. The water moves back and forth slightly, as a result of the wave; the wave energy moves on, WITHOUT taking the water with it. The wave is not a current.
when it moves the water to the surface and has potential to come back
Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.

The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
