In three ways: by sheer force of impact, by electromagnetic disruption of molecular bonds and by dissolution of minerals. You can't see any of this happening in usual time, but if you visit an area of shoreline after many years, you'll see where it's happened.

Three ways in which waves erode rock?
Waves erode rock through abrasion, where particles carried by the water bump into and wear away the rock surface. Hydraulic action occurs when the force of breaking waves compresses air in cracks in the rock, causing it to weaken and eventually break off. Corrosion is another way in which waves erode rock, as the minerals in the rock dissolve in seawater over time.
How do waves change to cause water to erode water along a shoreline?
