The depth of moving water does not determine how fast it travels. Certainly shallow water will travel faster than deep water for the same volume of water moving past a point per unit of time. And if you think about it, it will become clear. Let's look at water in a pipe and make a comparison. Two pipes of different diameter have water moving through them. And the same volume of water is moving through both pipes per unit of time. The water in the smaller pipe will have to travel faster to get the same volume of it past a point in a given time as the larger pipe. Said another way, the water moving through the larger pipe won't be flowing as fast as the water in the smaller pipe to get the same flow rate (gallons/minute, or other measure). The same logic applies to streams or rivers. What we generally see is that large rivers move slowly, but that's generally because the slopedown which they run is small compared to smaller tributaries higher up. This, that is, the issue with the slope or gradient down which water is moving, is a geological phenomenon. We often seem smaller streams or rivers moving more quickly than larger ones. But we cannot make a blanket statement that shallow water moves more quickly than deep water. It may, or may not, depending on the circumstances.
The depth of water affects the speed of these waves directly without having anything to do with the density of the water. The deeper the water, the faster the waves travel, and so waves will refract (change direction) when they enter deeper or shallower water at an angle.

velocity= wavelength * frequency
deep water has a higher wavelength therefore velocity incerases
The ocean wave will get smaller when it reaches shallow water. Waves will always be higher and faster when traveling through deep waters.
One-half the deep-water wave length.
deep water waves
Amplitude. The wavelength decreases accordingly. Waves travelling through deep water - even tsunami waves, can have a surprisingly low amplitude (height) of just a few cms, but a very low frequency and long wavelength. They can travel fast too. But as they come into shallower water the wavelength drops and as a consequence the amplitude rapidly increases, creating the much larger waves we see on the shore itself.
because water is clear so it can go through until it is to deep
In deep water
The ocean wave will get smaller when it reaches shallow water. Waves will always be higher and faster when traveling through deep waters.
Deep Water
can deep water waves and shallow water waves exist at the same point offshore?
The area between deep water waves and breaker zone is the euphotic zone
The sound waves travel by vibrations, which are then percieved by the canals deep in your ear
Deep
The wave gains height as the top continues travelling faster than the bottom of the wave, so forming a wave crest.
They typically form on steep beaches and tend to be more erosive.
