The wave levels rise momentarily. As tsunamis are caused by earthquakes caused by the movement of tectonic plates, the tectonic plates cause the seafloor near the plate boundary to rise, and the landward seafloor to deepen. This causes a sudden withdrawal of the sea just before the inundation. Overall, there aren't many effects on the hydrosphere from a tsunami, mainly the biosphere because of people's deaths.
