Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water.

As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found globally across the open ocean and along the coast.
