A Breaker or a breaking wave is a wave that has reached a maximum height and due to lack of cohesion has returned to the mass of water to which it is a part of by the force of gravity. Simply a breaker is an unstable wave [1] Because it is unstable the waves shape is broken into many little droplets and parts as it falls down.
