@theothersimo @istartedi maybe 8-10 years ago I was living in San Diego and we had a Tsunami warning, so my buddies and I headed to Swamis to try to surf it. Everyone was lined up at the top of the cliff to watch as it came in.
It was ultimately pretty anticlimactic... like, you could tell when it hit because the wave frequency picked up quite a bit, but there was no drain out, no massive wave, no epic surf. We didn't even notice any stronger currents.
Probably not the lesson I (and everyone at the top of the cliff watching) should've learned from that... but clearly what hit us wasn't the disaster-causing wall of water it was supposed to be.
@theothersimo @istartedi Yeah, I've seen videos taken in cities, and once it hits civilization it's basically just a flood. However, if you're out in the ocean where would it get all that crap from? The videos of that big 2011 tsunami in Japan, taken from a boat, just look like a massive swell. No debris or crap. Like this: youtu.be/MUC5kNCMetY?t=107
The period is so long and the wave moving so fast you'd probably need to tow-in to catch it... but I don't see how you'd get logs and debris coming from the open ocean like that.

Even without a significant wave they can still be fatal.
A few years ago we had a warning for a small tsunami for Sydney. It had travelled a long way to get to us.
The tide was 3/4 the way out. The water rose over a few minutes to be near the high tide mark, then back down to normal. Then repeated that a few times in a couple of hours.
There is video of small creeks and lagoons nealy drained, then having water rush in and out quickly.
Doesn't seem much, but that type of water movement generated strong currents and rips that seem to come out of nowhere and in places where they were not a few minutes earlier.
Kids playing in a safe lagoon, swimmers standing on safe sandbanks can all be suddenly in a potential life-threatening situation.
It is thought Bondi's black Saturday a mass rescue of 250 people, 150 needing assistance, 35 unconcious and 5 dead was a result of a small tsunami wave on a crowded beach.

Definitely a good question... I don't know. Currents could be squirrely for sure, no matter if a tsunami hits there. Unclear how high they will be, and I suspect officials don't know either.
The conservative thing to do:
1. Get off the water tonight, away from the immediate coast, as the tsunami is expected sometime before 1am or so. Better to be of the water and not have to worry at all, IMHO.
2. Be careful tomorrow/next week because those tsunamis really mess up currents.
@fembot @ai6yr Yes. The whole area is, according to the Tsunami page.

Okay, the latest warning that just came out says 1 foot waves. I think I don't need to worry.
