How are waves at Teahupoo so thick and heavy?

Waves in Tahiti-Teahupoo are very thick and powerful because of two main factors, which is reef and dept of water. Waves formed at Teahupoo come from deep water and enters shallow water very dramatically. The wave is traveling through deep waters from where it started and suddenly hits very shallow reef causing the wave to instantly break. Unlike most breaks where waves hit a shelf of reef and slowly begin to break, Teahupoo almost breaks the instant it hits the reef. When this occurs all that water and force fallowing the wave basically folds over and break too soon and it causes the wave to be massive in thickness and size. This is why Teahupoo gets very heavy, it's because of the amount of water that builds up right as the wave breaks.

How far from the shore would a wave break that had a wave length of 3 meters?

A wave typically breaks when its wave base reaches the depth of half its wavelength. Therefore, for a wave with a wavelength of 3 meters, it would break when the water depth is approximately 1.5 meters. The distance from the shore at which this occurs depends on the slope of the seafloor.

What happens to waves as they slow down and approach shore?

As waves slow down and approach shore, their wavelength decreases while their amplitude increases. This causes the waves to become steeper and eventually break as they approach shallow water. The energy of the waves is dissipated as they break, resulting in the crashing of waves on the shore.
