Yes they do. Only very few waves hit the shore straight on.

Erosion, maybe?

Waves play a major role in building up and breaking down the shoreline. As waves break against a shoreline, rock is broken into sand.
It has caused the shoreline to erode.
Large waves are able to remove more large chunks of rock from a shoreline then average sized waves due to their sheer force. Larger waves are more powerful and are usually a culprit for shoreline erosion.
The number of waves that crash into a shoreline in a day can vary widely depending on factors like wind speed, tides, and geographic location. In general, there can be hundreds to thousands of waves that reach a shoreline in a day.

Waves even out a shoreline by eroding it.The waves coming to shore gradually change direction, as different parts of the wave begins to drag the bottom.The energy of the wave is concentrated on headlands, part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean.As waves erode the headlands the shoreline will eventually even out.Tee Hee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ___------ -/---- ----\/--- --- \------------ ---- --

Shoreline erosion is when ocean waves erode the shoreline of the coast. It also can happen on the shores of rivers.
P-waves hit, followed by S-waves, followed by surface waves.
