A wave, a particle , or an isotropic field that can distort?

On a recent fishing trip I had plenty of free time to think in the beautiful quiet countryside surroundings of the venue. On one particular day it was nice and sunny and there was no wind , a lovely calm day.
Then the thought occurred, the surface of the water was flat, there was no force of the wind to make waves. Now only if something hits the surface creating a force does the effect of waves happen which leads me to believe my title of this thread.
Visible light is a wave because it is different than the calm, a ''splash'' of the calm would be a particle, but the majority would be a field.
It seems to me that calm distorts only if there is an opposing force internally or externally, it seems to me the calm is a field that can distort and wave but also can be isolated to a single particle by the imagination.
What do you think, I would like to hear your thoughts?
