Hi, why do waves with longer wavelengths travel further than waves with shorter wavelengths?

well, because of the moon!

Explanation:

you see, the moon is what controls the waves. waves are most commonly caused by wind. wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. as wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. the gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves. so when the gravitation pull is weak, it creates the shorter wavelengths. without a stong pull, they don't go as far. when the pull is strong, the waves with longer wavelengths go further.
