Not sure what you mean by "the small edge of the trapezoid". What
matters is position relative to the leading edge of the wave (the
wavefront):

If your ship is in front of the wavefront before the wavefront moves,
and behind it afterwards, i.e. the moving wavefront crossed the ship's
position, it takes damage.

If your ship moves through the wavefront from front to back during the
ship's own movement phase, it takes damage.

If your ship moves through the wavefront from back to front during the
ship's movement phase but gets out of the way far enough not to get
caught when the wavefront moves, it does not take damage.
