It's simply a matter of scale. Water will always find its own level & waves are caused by air movement affecting the surface: The larger the surface area the greater the effects.

Why do lakes have smaller waves than the ocean?

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!
