    The speed of waves are determined by the frequency of the push (wind). This really determines what the wave is being pushed by. If it were a Tsunami it would be by the frequency of the Tsunami if it were from the wind then the winds frequency would determine it's speed. Also the wavelength determines the speed because of the wight it has, but again something has to cause this wave to move.
