I believe that what you're describing appears to be a groyne and not a
breakwater, although it's probably not uncommon for groynes to be called
breakwaters.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Breakwater appears
to include Groynes within their definition but it'd be good to see them
defined distinctly as many Groynes aren't visible at high tide but still
present obstacles to navigation.
