Waves are bigger in oceans than in small lakes because, the ocean is in a much much larger size than lakes, and in oceans the depth is miles deep and plate tectonics move causing huge waves. Then in lakes the waves are small because they bounce back and forth.Also because of the tide, if the tide is high with okay wind the waves aren't gonna be so great, but if the tide is low with great big winds the waves will be amazing!
