Any info how large it is expected to be? The advisory is really unclear how it is on scale "measurable wave" to "run away immediately" Lack of specific seems to point to the first one but...

  A few feet. It looks like there was some light flooding at a marina in Santa Cruz: https://twitter.com/PMBreakingNews/status/1482397828056031237 https://twitter.com/PMBreakingNews/status/148239782805603123...

    "Strong waves" may be anything from "measurably stronger wave" to "0.5m tsunami wave that requires evacuation from flat coastal areas"

  You can see wave heights by looking at the residuals plots on tide stations: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tsunami https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tsunami. Looks like 2ft peaks in Monterey?

  Not too big on the West Coast, it hit Santa Cruz and caused minor flooding at the harbor.

Huh, Fort Bragg is a lot closer to Crescent City than Oceanside. I would think the earliest time would be the center of the incoming wave?

The parking lot at Santa Cruz (California) Harbor flooded and there was some minor damage, though a lot less than from the 2011 tsunami from the Japanese earthquake. It was only about a 30 to 50 cm surge (one to 1.5 feet) but happened at high tide.
