Surf's up in Australia and Hawaii.

Australia possibly. Wrong Ocean for Hawaii. Wave would be shielded by the bulk of Sumatra, and kind of messed up by the large Islands of the Indonesian archepeligo, as well as the Philipines.

Sri Lanka, Madagakar, India and the whole east coast of Africa, including Somalia and Kenya, had best be alert, if there was a Tsunami generated. Depth is shown at USGS as 19.3 miles, fairly deep. Depth at Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is deeper still, 31.1 miles. However they do seem to have issued a Local Tsunami Watch, but the link to the text is bad. But the arrival times are as indicated below:

ESTIMATED INITIAL TSUNAMI WAVE ARRIVAL TIMES AT FORECAST POINTS WITHI THE WARNING AND WATCH AREAS ARE GIVEN BELOW. ACTUAL ARRIVAL TIMES MAY DIFFER AND THE INITIAL WAVE MAY NOT BE THE LARGEST. A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES AND THE TIME BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE WAVES CAN BE FIVE MINUTES TO ONE HOUR.

LOCATION FORECAST POINT COORDINATES ARRIVAL TIME
-------------------------------- ------------ ------------
INDONESIA SIMEULUE 2.5N 96.0E 2244Z 06 APR
BELAWAN 3.8N 98.8E 0237Z 07 APR
