That's very fast and it's all because of how deep the water is (thousands of feet) and how much energy the earthquake puts into the tidal wave. So now to directly answer your question, the amount of time it takes for a tsunami to come after an earthquake occurs can be as little as 5 minutes or as long as 24 hours. It just depends on how far away the earthquake was from the coast.
All large earthquakes do not cause tsunamis, but many do. If the quake is located near or directly under the ocean, the probability of a tsunami increases. When you hear that an earthquake has occurred in the ocean or coastline regions, prepare for a tsunami emergency.Tsunamis can occur at any time, day or night. Wave velocity is the speed of the wave. 2  Velocities of normal ocean waves are about 90 km/hr while tsunamis have velocities up to 950 km/hr (about as fast as jet airplanes), and thus move much more rapidly across ocean basins. 3  The velocity of any wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the wave period.
