They do NOT know what kind of wave it will be, but they're not taking any chances, so they will evacuate. Saying for people to take personal papers, photos, meds, have 3 days food and water.
Right now they are telling people not to go surfing today. Seriously.
Also saying that a small wave in more southerly island groups means nothing, because tsunamis can wrap around small islands, but the Hawaiian islands are massive. In 1960 there was a very small wave at Christmas Island but 35 foot wave in Hilo and on to Japan.
