Of the few occasions I've seen Airfoil Lift described to general audience (on documentaries), it has focused on the top-side curve of the Airfoil causing air on the topside to move faster than the bottom-side. This is said to reduce air pressure on the topside and result in lift.
If a wave is rolling through still air, it will accelerate the air over the wave, much like an Airfoil does. Will this acceleration of air reduce the downwards air pressure on the wave?
