There are a lot of potential answers to the clue breakwater. This clue comes to us potentially from the Daily Telegraph Crossword. Breakwater means that it is a structure or a series of materials used to block water from a coastal area. You could say it is a dam, but the dam is more or less built to block a stream or water inland, whereas a breakwater is on the shorelines.
Potential answers to the breakwater clue
We’ll start with the MOLE, which is a series of rocks or materials that look like giant jacks. They are placed around harbors or around the shoreline to block the waves from crashing on the road.
A GROYNE or often spelled as groin is another acceptable answer. The groyne is like the mole, but the design is like a wooden wall lined up with some pillars. Wood is just one material because it can be made by other materials, like cement, because the design is the same.
The last potential answer is an EMBANKMENT. It’s another type of wall barrier, but on the opposite end, it slants diagonally like a slide. Any of these answers can be good if the word count is there.
