Ok, so waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the ocean. Wave energy devices get energy directly from the surface motion of the waves. These devices work the best in places where there are constant serface waves, Oregon being an example. The energy from the wind is transfered to the waves.
(Reminder to my self to go back to this site for more info regarding the physics behind all this- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power)
