I believe a wave breaks when its steepness exceeds its height and speed.

I believe you are referring to Refraction.
As the momentum of the wave moves towards the shallow shore, the bottom slows due to friction with the seabed, while the top keeps moving. Eventually, the top of the wave curls over in a crest, that breaks on to the beach.

The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.

Yes, erosion occurs when something like a rock and a wave break it down over time.
Mainly the strenght of the wind passing over the water. Also the fetch, or distance that a wave has to develope. Finally, the beach profile will also effect the size and how the wave breaks.
That is called a breaker.
