Not "small and harmless" in Hawaii. Hours earlier, the main / large waves destroyed entire buildings elsewhere in the Hawaiian Islands; no injuries or deaths because thousands of people evacuated due to warnings.
Of course people will look at this and make fun of it - but yes, this is really the effects of a tsunami, only many hours later, and very much reduced in power. A really major tsunami like this one, which traveled all around the Pacific Ocean, will eventually be reduced to a lot of conflicted, refracted forces coming from different directions as the waves bounce off various obstacles like islands and continents. You clearly can see here how the visible waves on the surface move in different, unusual ways, like from left to right diagonally. Normal wind-driven waves will come straight at the shore.
@@Moodsaver I did not call this a "fucking tide". And these little waves are still coming ashore hours after entire buildings were destroyed elsewhere in Hawaii.
That ocean is not behaving normal at all. It's scary to imagine how it was for the Japanese. I was still a little kid when it happened so I didnt fully grasp the scale of the disaster
it makes sense why it wouldn't happen with where the main event happen, if you want to see the full force of this, look at the 2011 Fukushima quake, that lead to the Tsunami which caused this, at this point in time, it most likely would just have some minor undercurrents, but if you look at the full scale of it from Japan, it was a very dangerous Tsunami, and it did kill a lot of people
The reason small tsunamis hit other Pacific coast's was because on March 11,2011 a huge earthquake and tsunami hit Japan but since the tsunami was huge it traveled further but because of how big it was but became smaller because of how far it traveled
People who say this is a normal beach/ocean behavior or that it is not dangerous are probably the ones caught off guard when there's a tsunami. Noticing the small changes is key when it comes to the ocean
After living in the Netherlands for so long I probably would have laughed at the „high tide line“ shown in this video had I arrived later that day. For context: the low tide in my town reveals about 100 more meters of beach...
You are on Kahala Beach. I lived in Kaimuki for years. While you were filming this I was on the top level of the parking structure at Ala Moana mall, I saw just about the same thing you did. And the entire place was as empty as I've ever seen it of people.
One of the worst disasters imaginable would be a large scale tsunami in the Atlantic ocean affecting the North American continent. So many major cities near, at, or below sea level. And it's a possibility.
No way in the world that I would be standing there. There's no telling how large the wave would actually be when it comes in. Gonna end up being one of those missing people.
I got a correction to make lol. Your name is Mark right? You live in California now I think. You used to live on... Maybe I shouldn't say your address lol
this came from the 2011 Japan earthquake + tsunami that totaled many cities and towns in Japan. This is the tsunami after crossing halfway across the Pacific.
I don't understand how more people don't understand that when you witness the the water line of the ocean has been sucked out that it means there is a tsunami in bound

That was a 40m+ wave in Japan. Something similar happened yesterday from a volcano eruption but not nearly as big, should be about comparable waves in Hawaii, almost 3m in Japan and 1.5m in California. Tonga's internet is cut off, i hope everyone is okay.
Even such small waves look like a potentially dangerous phenomenon. I surfed many big wind-driven waves but I think I’ll be scared even to enter into water towards these waves.
Sudden sea level change, it like a wave but its not a normal wave as such it as its the entire ocean with water movement right down to the sea floor, dragging with it sand and rock.

It’s not a 15 foot wave it’s a 15 foot surge. They are different. It means that the water receded and then surged up 15 feet, which doesn’t happen in that short amount of time unless it’s a tsunami.

Same tsunami.
Large and deadly in Japan.
Small and harmless in Hawaii.

the ocean is behaving like the ocean there isn’t a normal it’s always changing and moving
Like everyone says
Be the cameraman.
You’ll live 👍
how i mispronounced "live" makes more sense, and a pun too
Some people says, “It’s like a normal sea” but they didn’t know that there’s a mini tsunami.
Nice view for some very small waves. I can't even imagine Japan :(

Imagine Aceh
Thats hawwai
James Martinez - dont you know that the tsunami also affected japan in a greater scale
James Martinez No he meant about the tsunami in japan on March 11, because those are the after shocks of a tsunami.
James Martinez When will we meet hawwai
“Big, massive wave, but it’s really small” what?
lol
He meant long(massive), but small(height).
YAINT ! Thats what she said ;)
It looked small from his hotel. You can see palm trees that are Tiny suggesting that he is high up
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It's literally the ocean sloshing around the pacific basin. Like a gigantic tub. It's insane to see so clearly though. Kind of spooky.
I was in Hawaii at the time thank god it didn’t happen but was so impressed how fast they had everyone off the streets

Looks just like waves
Julian Nankivell that wave is from japan tsunami
Julian Nankivell its a storm surge. Idk why he called it a tsunami surge but a storm surge is a phenomenon of rising water in a tsunami like substance

im in 2021
Wow! Think about being half way to Japan???
I don't understand how more people don't understand that when you witness the the water line of the ocean has been sucked out that it means there is a tsunami in bound
Guys "tidal wave" come from tide. A Tsunami has nothing to do and is not created by a tide.
Johannes Jahn i believe that tidal waves are affected by the incoming tsunami
Johannes Jahn they come from tide pods
The affects of an earthquake somewhere else is affecting other beaches the water is going somewhere else and it's gonna cause a tsunami
Tidal wave is actually just a really crappy name for a tsunami
Luca Grinyer Did you read the main comment?
Wow I just noticed this happened on the same day, when the Mar 11 tsunami in Japan struck
Rafael Andre Bagano yea it effected the stuff like San Francisco
Oh gosh, these waves are nothing compared to San Diego..🤦🏽♀️
Funny thing is, I lived in Hawaii and still am living in Honolulu and yet i only find this this video now???

Thanks so much!!! U just wasted my time.

That's the same day of the tsunami in Japan in 2011
it's the same tsunami
March 11, 2011 was the night I landed on Honolulu and we heard the sirens that night and was wondering what happened
It happened on the same day when the Tōhoku Earthquake happened
I'm glad to get some good reference on an incoming Tsunami
man those waves came from ohio or what the heck??? they traveled a lot of distance and remained intact the whole time!
still looking for that huge wave he said
Wait.....
THAT'S THE TSUNAMI I WENT THROUGH WHEN I WAS ALMOST TWO YEARS OLD!!! 😱
2:12 You call that a fast wave where you live? Then the ocean must be incredibly still there!
Huh if the water doesn’t recede where are the waves?
I hope there was no casulties that was very stressful exspearance for you hope you get over the trauma
I believe they are still seeing psychiatrists to deal with this dramatic, cataclysmic disaster in Oahu. Oh the humanity of it all.
Even such small waves look like a potentially dangerous phenomenon. I surfed many big wind-driven waves but I think I’ll be scared even to enter into water towards these waves.
My sister was born on the same day! Her birthday is March 11,2011
This was actually a day where a Japanese tsunami that was 131 feet tall and killed 20’000 people and this was the same day it happened
very tragic......i bet that took you weeks to clean up!! i hope you received some government aid
jindivik321 my prayers go out to their families
He said that because it was the after effect of the earthquake in japan

When I was Swimming in Naval, There was a Wave but big and My Family thinks it is a Small wave but big! 😡
I feel like I just wasted 3 min of my life
The water has to get small waves in the front, and then the water gets back and the tsunami starts in seconds.
It's very confusing is a tsunami suppose to be big well that day I was scared there might be a tsunami like the one from Japan
By the time it reached Hawaii it had already lost 99% of its energy from traveling over the pacific ocean.
Lucas Favazzi But how do you know there was no interference between Japan and Hawaii?
this came from the 2011 Japan earthquake + tsunami that totaled many cities and towns in Japan. This is the tsunami after crossing halfway across the Pacific.
I always have nightmares of huge(not tsunami just big waves) waves. I’d be outta there real quick.
Why would you still be there if there's going to be billions of gallons of water going right where you're standing?
are you sure it wasn't the tide?
he stated in the vid the month and the date
phanthom091 the tide doesnt go in and out that fast
Ahhhh yea. Tsunamis have nothing to do with tides... it is all about suddenly displaced water,... in this case caused by tectonics.
Dude the tide takes 6 hours to change, not six minutes
this came from the 2011 Japan earthquake + tsunami that totaled many cities and towns in Japan. This is the tsunami after crossing halfway across the Pacific.
Lol its wrong March 11 2011 is in Japan not in Hawaii
Stop hating, it’s a tsunami surge not a tsunami.
Where the heck is the 15 foot wave? Do you mean 15 Inches?
It’s not a 15 foot wave it’s a 15 foot surge. They are different. It means that the water receded and then surged up 15 feet, which doesn’t happen in that short amount of time unless it’s a tsunami.
High tide or low tide
