breakers
Waves hitting shore
Breakers are waves that crash onto shore, their crests collapsing into foam as they meet shallow water or obstacles.
The term extends to anything that breaks: a circuit breaker interrupts electrical flow; a breaker at a salvage yard dismantles ships.
In CB radio slang, breaker, breaker announces someone seeking to join a conversation.
