The paper outlines the radar studies of the sea surface by means of two polarizations X-band radar IKI-2M in Gelendzik, the Black Sea. Observation were performed in “time-distance” regime with azimuthal position of antenna being fixed. The main attention was paid to wave breakings, which have formed the tracks of limited length at the time-distance display. Two kinds of wave breakings are selected: breakings of long gravity waves, moving with velocities 6–8 m/s (“macro-breakings”) and breakings of small-scale meso-waves (“micro-breakings”), which are moving with velocities 0.5–1.0 m/s. The macro-breakings are characterized by sufficiently long time-life about 10–15 s, whereas micro-breakings manifest much shorter times of life about 1–2 s. Probability distributions are obtained for life-times and for characteristic velocities of localized “scattering spots”, observed at the radar images. The analysis of the experimental data allowed distinguishing the resonant and non-resonant mechanisms of scattering
