no not really they have tsunamis , may be reached as 5-6 meters height but not can be specified as a Tsunami!
As a tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and travels into the shallower water near the coast, it transforms. The tsunamis energy flux, which is dependent on both its wave speed and wave height, remains nearly constant. because of this shaoling effect, a tsunami, imperceptible at sea, may grow to be several meters or more in height near the coast. When it finally reaches the coast, a tsunami may appear as a rapidly rising or falling tide or a series of breaking waves.
the tsunami hit alaska lity bay in july 9,1958 and the tsunami was about 1,720 feet tall
Because width doesn't matter in a tsunami. The width is typically the length of the shore. It would be extremely difficult to classify a tsunami based upon height and width when the width is simply incomparable.
no, a tsunami slows down when approaching the shore. But it gains height and actually stored its power until it reaches land.

When getting word of a tsunami, a cruise ship will head out to the deepest part of the ocean she can reach. In deep water, a tsunami may only be a couple of feet or even inches high. It is not until the tsunami reaches shallow water that the wave reaches any appreciable height. In fact, a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean may be the safest place to be during a tsunami.
The height of a tsunami increases as it gets closer to the shoreline. It sort of "rolls" up the sea floor, pushing itself higher as it does so.

The biggest tsunami occurred in 1958 (July 7) in Lituya Bay, Alaska. This tsunami reached a height of 524 metres, or 1700 feet.
it gets higher

It may or may not because the properties of the filling determine the height to which a ball will bounce.
Tsunami waves have a much longer wavelength in proportion to their height than ordinary waves do. They are often miles long.
