A tsunami is a gigantically long wave. I don’t think what you’re describing describes a tsunami.

That is not really a good description of a tsunami. Tsunamis can occur in very narrow areas too, like when landslides happen in fjords.

I mean long as in wavelength. You wouldn’t have a series of tsunami waves.
