In surfing, a break (or surf break) is the place where a wave collapses into surf. There are several types of breaks. A point break refers to the place where waves hit a point land or rocks jutting out from the coastline. Bells Beach in Australia and Jardim do Mar in Madeira, Brazil are examples of point breaks. A beach break takes place where waves break ona sandy seabed. An example of a classic beach break is Hossegor in Southern France, which is famous for barrels of up to 20 feet (6.1 m). A reef break happens when a wave breaks over a coral reef or a rocky seabed. These waves are perhaps the most dangerous if a surfer wipes out badly. An example is Cloudbreak in Fiji.
