Subject: Water waves

What I know:
Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength. Sound and light always
travel at the same respective speeds in a given medium. Surface water
waves vary in speed and are, like sound and light, dependent on wavelength
and frequency (period).

What I want to know:
Is there also a direct relationship between the size (amplitude/ height) of
a water wave and its speed?
