Children BreakingWaveA BreakingWave occurs when water in a WaterWave moves at different speeds as it approaches a SurfZone. The water at the top of the wave continues as speed at the bottom of the wave slows, causing the top to 'break' and fall forward from the wave. The water at the top of the wave ceases to be part of the WaterWave after the water falls.
