When waves "break", they have different characteristics depending on factors including the structure of the ocean floor. There are three main types that are identified by surfers or surf lifesavers: plunging waves (also known as "dumpers"), spilling waves and surging waves. Their varying characteristics make them more or less suitable for surfing and present different dangers.
