It varies on the distance from land that the earthquake struck (causing the tsunami waves.) Tsunami waves can hit for a few minutes or hours.
The tsunami that struck Japan after the Sendai earthquake in 2011 lasted for an hour.

original answer above.
The duration of a tsunami depends on the strength of the cause (most likely an earthquake) The larger the quake, the stronger the wave, the larger the wave.
Any tsunami worth monitoring duration would most likely hit land first. Tsunamis have been recorded to go for up to 3 and a half hours.
