No, not really. Tsunami's are usually caused by undersea earthquakes, and the British Isles are a long way from any geological faultlines that can trigger these. It sometimes gets terrible storms, which rough seas and high waves, but not the massive tidal waves that can devastate parts of the Far East.
The last recorded incident of anything like a tsunami in Wales was in 1607, when a massive tidal surge swept up the Bristol Channel which divides South Wales from South-West England. The exact death toll is not known, but is thought to have been in the region of 1500- the cause also remains a mystery.
