To be fair, that kind of back of the envelope analysis shows that with our current knowledge we cannot assign this phenomenon to your hypothesis. But maybe that's precisely why the phenomenon remains unexplained because we have to think a bit outside the box.
Fluid dynamics is complicated (Navier-Stokes still has a 1 million prize attached to it), surface wave propagation is complicated but when you include the effects of the seabed it's even more complicated. A lot of non-linear behavior pops out which always brings very nasty math.
I'm more on the side that this is not the explanation but I wouldn't bet too much on it.
