The proper Cornish name for this wave is the "Cribba", from the Cornish language, meaning "Crestlike" as in "Cribba Head" just East of Porthcurno, near Treen, which means "the crest-like headland". ref. http://archive.org/stream/aglossarycornis00banngoog#page/n8/mode/2up From page 38 "A Glossary of Cornish Names" by the Rev. John Bannister Vicar of St. Day, dated 1871
