I'm a sucker for these curled wave shots. The waves that have hit the break-wall bounce back and colide with the inbound waves.
Probably a very touristy shot and in retrospect the horizon is crooked, but I don't care. It makes me happy anyway. :-)

I experimented crouching down low right on the water's edge, to catch a breaking wave coming in. Some were more challenging than others...
Processes of hydraulic action wear away at the rock, aiding its erosion by processes of attrition and abrasion. A wave-cut notch forms at the foot of the cliff, this is a marine or a cliff-foot process. By subareal erosion, the cliff on top of the notch becomes weaker, eventually collapsing due to gravity.
The rock is then gradually broken up, again by hydraulic action, attrition and abrasion, which leaves a platform of sediment at the foot of a cliff.
