Just note here so that people unfamiliar of tsunamis won't get misconception. 50cm of tsunami is enough to wash people away. It's totally different from 50cm-high wave[1]. 1m of tsunami is deadly if you got swallowed. 3m can easily sweep two-story houses.

Also mind the actual tsunami carries lots of debris so you can't easily swim in it.
