I must agree with previous posters that this is not a tsunami. tsunamis have huge wavelengths, and at sea are unnoticeable. The only way you would detect one is if you were measuring the depth of the ocean for the entire period that the tsunami passed. you would notice an increase in depth of several meters, and then a decrease back to the normal state over the course of several minutes.
Tsunamis are never breaking waves, notice this one is nearly breaking. It could very well be a small rouge wave, as a previous poster mentioned.

Watch the discovery channel and learn about mega-thrust earthquakes cuddy.
