A bit of research shows that this is the opening scene of the 2004-ish film Billabong Odyssey.

It is pretty stunning though, even for a non-surfer.

Actually, this has nothing at all to do with tsunami. These guys go way offshore from Los Angeles, to a place where an undersea mountaintop comes quite close to the surface, and raises up this huge surf. That's why you never see the surfer beach his board. There isn't a beach for many, many miles.
