I could swear I knew the answer in grade 5 and no longer remember but like at what point is it one step to the right and no wind and suddenly wind a step further. Like rain starts from the clouds (and I assume thunder too) but what about wind.

    Where does an ocean wave start?

    All currents are circular when you zoom out far enough, and are driven by inequalities in energy. Inequalities in thermal energy, for wind, and wind energy, for waves. Inequalities in voltage drive electrical current, which is remarkable fluid like, in its behavior.
