In surfing, the topography of the seabed, also known as Bathymetry (and a variety of other natural elements) determines the shape of a wave. A shore break is a type of wave that occurs very close to shore. The seabed goes from deep to shallow in a relatively short distant, hence the ocean swell is pushed up and over itself as it approaches the shoreline. Shore Breaks can be more dangerous because they tend to break over shallow coral reef. Hawaii offers a pleothera of shore breaks. Here's a few examples, shot in the early morning hours off the coast of Oahu.
