    Spilling. The wave becomes unstable at the crest and forms white water at the crest. The white water (foam) expands slowly down the front face of the breaker. Breaker action is mild.

    Plunging. The wave crest becomes so much faster than the base of the wave that it falls almost into the trough with violent action. The resulting foam appears almost instantly over the complete front. A t times, air is caught in the breaker as it tumbles forward, creating a type of explosion.

    Surging. The wave crest tends to

    advance faster than the base of the wave, suggesting the formation of a plunging breaker. However, just before breaking completely, the wave base advances faster than the crest and the plunging is arrested with the entire wave breaking on the beach, instead of on itself. These wave types are generally found on beaches with a steep gradient.

    Notes:

    1 . Spilling wave action can generally be considered the least violent and dangerous to small boats and landing craft.

    2. Surging wave action is generally the most violent and dangerous to small boats and anding craft because of the breaking action directly onto the beach.

    3. Plunging wave action falls somewhere in between the tw o extremes, depending on storm action and other considerations.
