how does full moon influence sea waves.

do you mean tides? waves are created by wind brushing against the sea
gravitational pull of the moon pulls sea towards it creating high tides on one side of the planet and low tides on the other
high tide is when the moon rotates on the our side of the planet
low tide when it is round the other side
spring high tides are caused when the moon is at its closest position to the earth in a year

The moon does not influence waves. The gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon influences the tides.

The full moon does not have any more, or any less, attraction that does any other phase of the moon.
