Definition of Wave overtopping:
Wave-overtopping takes place when waves meet a submerged reef or structure, but also when waves meet an emerged reef or structure lower than the approximate wave height. During over-topping, two processes important to the coastal processes take place: wave transmission and the passing of water over the structure.
This is the common definition for Wave overtopping, other definitions can be discussed in the article
