When the wave approach the coastline, the height of the wave changes because of the density in the water between the top of the breaker and the sand .So when the wave gets closer to the shore it gets smaller in till it tumbles over.

Will multiple tripping of a circuit breaker damage the circuit breaker?

You don't specify whether you mean low-voltage circuit breakers, such as MCBs (miniature circuit breakers) or high-voltage circuit breakers. In either case, repeated tripping under fault conditions causes arcing which damages the main contacts of the circuit breakers. For this reason, high-voltage circuit breakers are taken out of service after a specified number of tripping operations, so that the contacts can be maintained or, if necessary, replaced. MCB contacts are inaccessible, and the MCB may eventually require replacing.
