Crossword Genius

Seen in midnight sun, a mighty big wave (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tsunami

'big wave' is the definition.
(a tsunami is a large wave)

'seen in midnight sun a mighty' is the wordplay.
'seen in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TSUNAMI' is hidden in the letters of 'midnight sun a mighty'.

(Other definitions for tsunami that I've seen before include "stormy sea" , "Freak wave" , "Long sea wave" , "Seismic sea wave" , "Huge destructive sea wave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
