Violent sea wave (7)

I believe the answer is:

tsunami

(Other definitions for tsunami that I've seen before include "Huge destructive sea wave" , "Large sea wave caused by an earthquake" , "High sea wave" , "crashing bore" , "Great, fast-moving sea wave" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
