contents The results of direct numerical simulation of plane-symmetric turbulence of water waves for potential flows within the framework of conformal variables taking into account low-frequency pumping and high-frequency viscous dissipation are presented. In this model, for a wide range of pumping amplitudes, the weak turbulence regime was not detected. It is shown that for typical turbulence parameters, the main effects are the processes of wave breaking, the formation of cusps on wave crests, which make the main contribution to the turbulence spectra with a dependence on frequency and wavenumber with the same exponent equal to $-4$. In this strongly nonlinear regime, the probability density of wave steepness at large deviations has power-law tails responsible for the intermittency of turbulence.
