They do not: it is a popular myth.

Waves hit the shore many times per minute, but it varies so greatly. The wind changing can result in a change of this number. Any storms out in the ocean can change it as well.
2,460.52 litres per minute.
80 feet per minute is 2,438.4 cm per minute.
146 yards per minute
Yes, 26 per minute has been proven.

Yupp, they occur between 10-15 per minute where as constructive occur about 7 times per minute.
I estimate 4,320 waves a day if the waves come in at one for every three seconds
16,666 cycles per second.
According to a study entitled The Treatment of the Different Foodstuffs by the Stomach, which appeared in Volume 12 of the American Journal of Physiology: The rate of peristalsis noted when bread and milk were fed was stated as 6 waves per minute; a new contraction would thus appear every ten seconds. A considerably slower rate of peristalsis (4 waves per minute) was noticed after feeding a fat-suggesting that there might be characteristic rates for the different foodstuffs. Observations at different intervals after feeding were therefore made on various animals which had been fed various kinds of foods and the following results secured: Average rate/minute Variations in rate Fats 5.0 waves 4.0 to 6.0 waves Proteins 5.2 waves 4.8 to 5.8 waves Carbohydrates 5.5 waves 5.0 to 6.0 waves In general, then, it seems that the average rate of peristalsis is 5.0 to 5.5 waves per minute, with variations noted from between 4.0 and 6.0 waves per minute.

Frequency = (how many in one second) = (1/60) of (how many in one minute) = (300/60) = 5 Hz.

400 meters per minute is about 1/4 mile per minute.
