Terminator

Device that operates perpendicular to the wave direction.

A terminator is a wave energy device that operates perpendicular to the wave direction. Terminators typically comprise both stationary and moving components, which capture or reflect the power of the wave. These devices are typically installed onshore or nearshore, though some floating devices have been developed for offshore applications. Oscillating water columns and overtopping devices are two common types of terminators, although more novel designs have also been developed.
