What is Wave Runup & Wave Setup and Setdown?

Wave runup is the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush on a beach or structure above the still water level (SWL). It is the sum of wave set-up and swash uprush (see Swash Zone Dynamics) and must be added to the water level reached as a result of tides and wind set-up.
The wave setup is the increase in mean water level due to the presence of breaking waves. Similarly, wave set down is a wave-induced decrease of the mean water level before the waves break.
The wave setdown is a wave-induced decrease of the mean water level before the waves break (during the shoaling process). For short, the whole phenomenon is often denoted as wave setup, including both increase and decrease of mean elevation.

Define Breaking Wave & cause of Regular Waves.

In fluid dynamics, a breaking wave or breaker is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur causing large amounts of wave energy to be transformed into turbulent kinetic energy.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As the wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. The gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth causes waves.
