Besides what the other commenters are telling you, an ordinary wave doesn’t move water forward with the wave (until it breaks in the very last stage, lasting seconds). The tsunami obeys the same rule, but it is ‘breaking’ the whole time it is approaching land — moving untold billions of cubic meters of water up and onto the land for minutes, at least.
