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.

Does current or resistance cause breakers to trip?

Excessive current is what causes circuit breakers to trip. When the current in a circuit exceeds the rating of the breaker, it trips to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Resistance itself does not cause breakers to trip, but it influences the amount of current flowing in a circuit.
