HowStuffWorks: Waves: The Physics of Waves

The particles move in a circle in a clockwise direction if the wave is moving in front of you from left to right. They climb the wave, cross its summit, and descend to its crest. When the wind blows on the open water, circular waves in the ocean begin to form.
