I believe the answer is:

breaker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'wave' is the first definition.
(I know that breaker is a type of wave)

'destruction?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breaker that I've seen before include "White-topped wave" , "Large sea wave" , "A large wave, sounds destructive" , "Wave hitting the shore" , "Someone broadcasting on Citizen's Band radio" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
