I recognize the way these waves look from some of the 2004 tsunami videos here on Youtube, although these were much smaller but you could still tell they weren't wind generated waves and could also be potentially dangerous. I know I wouldn't be out in a boat there that day for sure! Great footage! :)
sorry to say i studied the waves and thats just what they are waves there is no tsunami there . those are wind tide waves tsunami surges would not stop like that at the entrance of the ocean to the river inlet. they would be a complete rolling wave comming through.
No - NOT "just" big waves. This was from the tsunami generated by the Chilean earthquake. Any wave generated from and earthquake is called a tsunami, even when it's running out of energy.
Your amazingly lucky that this wasnt even a 2 meter Tsunami, otherwise the "protection" from the barriers wouldnt have done anything and it would have swept everything away. Those were just big waves.

This is really interesting. We watched TV for a couple of hours. Great shots of Hawaii, but hard to see what was going on. Thanks for the film.
