Wave heights of 15 m (50 ft) at that site suggest that the tsunami waves may have been unusually high, 15 to 30 m, along the entire 100-km stretch of coast from Kreung Sabe to the northwest tip of the island.
The physics of a tsunami. Tsunamis can have wavelengths ranging from 10 to 500 km and wave periods of up to an hour. As a result of their long wavelengths, tsunamis act as shallow-water waves. A wave becomes a shallow-water wave when the wavelength is very large compared to the water depth.
