A tsunami cannot be precisely predicted even if the right magnitude of an earthquake occurs in the right location. Systems that uses bottom pressure sensors attached to buoys can successfully predict a tsunami. No one yet knows why a tsunami may or may not occur after an earthquake.
It is not necessary that a Tsunami follows an earthquake.
It only happens when focus of earthquake is in the sea bed. Since earthquakes are caused by seismic waves produced due to collisions of the tectonic plates, these waves high disturbance in the sea water and hence the water takes the form of Tsunamis.

Why didn't a tsunami occur after the Christchurch earthquake?
A tsunami did occur after the Christchurch earthquake, but it was relatively small and localized. The earthquake did not generate a large enough displacement of water to create a significant tsunami. Additionally, the orientation of the fault line and the shallow depth of the earthquake further limited the potential for a widespread tsunami.
What made the Samoan tsunami occur?
It was triggered by an earthquake.
When did this tsunami occur in japan?
