A steady progressive wave of maximum amplitude can be defined as a wave that has a corner flow at its crest. An analytical examination of the response of such a corner flow to certain perturbations gives a realistic description of the breaking of a spilling breaker. In particular it is shown that breaking will occur in the direction of propagation of the wave.
