As a wave transitions from non-breaking to fully-breaking, some of the energy is converted into momentum that goes into the aerated region of the water column. This phenomenon is known as the surface roller. The surface roller contribution to the wave stresses is given by

The surface roller is calculated within CMS-Wave. An effect of the surface roller is to shift the peak alongshore current velocity closer to shore. Another side effect of the surface roller is to improve model stability (Sánchez et al. 2011a). The influence of the surface roller on the mean water surface elevation is relatively minor (Sánchez et al. 2011a).
