Why do waves get taller as they approach the shore?

"As a wave moves into shallow water, its orbitals “feel the bottom,” causing it to slow down. The wave crests that are closer to the shore (“in front”) are in shallower water, so they are moving slower than the wave crests farther out in the ocean (“behind”)"

This is why waves grow larger at a beach.
