CONT

A shore break is a type of wave that breaks directly on or very close to the shore, often in extremely shallow water. These waves tend to rise quickly and crash with force, creating a powerful and steep wave face. Shore breaks can be fun for body surfing but are challenging and sometimes dangerous for board surfers due to their intensity and the shallow water.
