Here's a comparison of swimming pools on Earth, Mars, and the Moon. Splash Earth Mars > Moon Relative to Earth: the Wave height on Mars is about 1.6x, and travels at 0.6x the speed. The wave height on the Moon is about 2.5x, and travels at 0.4x the speed. The model is idealized of course, and these numbers are for the pool’s waves, but not the height of airborne splash droplets, just FYI.
