There are three types of waves originated by the winds: 

1. See 

2. Swale 

3. Surf

1. See: When waves with different wave lengths or directions originate in the sea simultaneously, an irregular wave format is formed, which is called See.

2. Swale: When the waves move away from the influence of those winds that have created them, the waves sustain a uniform height and periodicity. This is called Swale. 

3. Surf: When the waves reach near the seashore, their slopes become steep and their the height increases. After reaching the shore, they proceed back to the sea. In these coastal areas, these breaking waves are called Surf.

Other Waves: In addition to these waves, there are also Tsunami, Stormy Waves and Internal Waves.
