The effects of a tsunami can be mitigated by natural factors such as tree cover on the shoreline. Some locations in the path of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami escaped almost unscathed as a result of the tsunami's energy being sapped by a belt of trees such as coconut palm s and mangrove s. In one striking example, the village of Naluvedapathy in India's Tamil Nadu region suffered minimal damage and few deaths as the wave broke up on a forest of 80,244 trees planted along the shoreline in 2002 in a bid to enter the Guinness Book of Records .

En ríos (de varios metros de altura: mascaret del río Sena o bore del río Severn) y en estrechos (como en la pycnoclina del estrecho de Gibraltar donde pueden alcanzar hasta cien metros de amplitud aunque sean apenas perceptibles en la superficie del mar) o en el océano (tsunami es una ola gigantesca en un puerto que ocurre como etapa final de una onda solitaria que ha recorrido de tres a cuatro mil kilómetros a unos ochocientos kilómetros por hora, por ejemplo de Alaska a Hawai)".
