Surfers paradise... Take a look.

Why do you think Nazaré in Portugal has such big waves?

Breakers 

• When waves hit the coast in shallow water, they overturn because of the friction with the seabed. 
• The lower part of the wave slows down and the upperpart becomes top-heavy, at this point they are called breakers.
