There are the waves which are caused by wind pushing the surface of the water (also observable on any pool or lake).

There are the tides which are only observable on really large bodies of water and which are different in different places. The tides are caused by the pull (gravity) of the Moon and to a lesser degree by the pull of the Sun and the height is to a large extent due to the shape and depth of the seabed in the surrounding area (many hundreds of miles).
