For every wave there are two components: the crest where the wave is highest and the trough were it is lowest. The drawback before a tsunami occurs when the trough is ahead of the crest. Another way of putting it: the water that is in the tsunami has to come from somewhere. Raising the water in one location means lowering it in another.
