It’s all about water.

WAVES

Waves are generated by wind passing over the surface of the sea. As long as the waves propagate slower than the wind speed just above the waves, there is an energy transfer from the wind to the waves. Both air pressure differences between the upwind and the lee side of a wave crest, as well as friction on the water surface by the wind, making the water to go into the shear stress causes the growth of the waves. Wikipedia.

Wave power is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work . For example, electricity generation, water desalination or pumping water. A machine that exploits wave power is a wave energy converter.
