As waves approach the shore, they typically slow down and increase in height due to interactions with the seafloor. This causes the wave crest to become steeper and eventually break near the shoreline. The energy of the wave is dissipated as it breaks, leading to the wave eventually losing its energy and transforming into swash and backwash movements along the shore.
