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.

Why doesn't an object move forward as a wave passes under it?

An object may not move forward as a wave passes under it because the wave's energy is focused on propagating through the medium (such as water or air) rather than exerting a force on the object. The wave causes the medium to move in a circular or up-and-down motion, which is not directly transferred to the object above it.
