Ocean waves do not carry water from hundreds of miles away; instead, they are a surface phenomenon caused by wind transferring energy to the water. As waves travel across the ocean, the water within them moves in circular or elliptical orbits, primarily transporting energy rather than water itself. While the energy of the wave can travel great distances, the actual water molecules largely return to their original position after passing through the wave. Thus, while waves can travel vast distances, the water they contain does not.
