It may not answer your question directly, but the following is a nice write-up: http://www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/Demos/waves/wavemotion.html

"Water waves are an example of waves that involve a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions. As a wave travels through the waver, the particles travel in clockwise circles. The radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases."

The animation is mesmerizing.
