wave's
Breaker's foamy crest
Wave's is the possessive form of wave.
It attributes something to a wave—either the moving disturbance in water or another medium, or a gesture of the hand: The wave's height exceeded predictions, I caught her wave's meaning from across the room.
The form also contracts wave is or wave has: The wave's coming in fast, The wave's already crested.
