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.

Inch Beach on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland with a fairly calm North Atlantic Ocean rolling in. A great beach for surfers when the waves are good.
