Surf refers to the wave activity that occurs between the line of breakers and the shore, including the breaking waves that surfers ride. Refraction waves and reflection waves refer to the bending and bouncing of waves, respectively, as they encounter changes in depth or obstacles. Longshore current refers to the movement of water parallel to the shoreline, and a wave base is the depth below which water particles are not affected by surface waves.
