In this aerial view photo of the waves, note the yellow arrow lines ( not the yellow circles) near the bottom of the picture.
You can see the yellow line with double arrows further out at sea is much further apart tha the one near the shore cos' the water is much deeper further out at sea.
The yellow arrows show the distance between one white wave crest to the next wave crest and this distance is called the wavelength
