Wind really comes from an imbalance in air pressure and waves come from wind, air continues to move as wind, as long as a difference between temperature and pressure exists. These changes in the air temperature are produced when the sun heats the zones close to the equator more than the poles. So, in general ocean waves’ main source of energy is the sun.   Explained in an easier way, the sun heats the air, the different temperatures come together, and the air turn into wind that transfers energy into the waves, pushes them and makes the water move in a circular way, that’s why when an object floats on the surface, it simply goes up and down, when the wave passes below it.
