About it
Most ocean waves are made by wind blowing across the water, sometimes far out at sea. The wave's energy travels on, but the water itself mostly just rises and falls. Near the shore, the shallow bottom slows the wave, so it grows taller and steeper until its top curls over and breaks.
Tap it to break it: the top of the wave throws forward and crashes into the water in front, white water and spray burst up and foam spreads out as the wave flattens. Then a new swell rises behind, steepens and curls over. Surfers call the tube under a curling wave the barrel.
