The effect so far on Hawaii has been negligible however thats not to say there wont be a further higher surge in the hawaii area.
The models they use to forecast tsunamis are notoriously inaccurate, there are many factors that can affect the sea at the time of the energy transfer, temperature, tidal flows, water depth, etc.
Tsunamis can appear to bypass areas and then hit somewhere else down stream even harder.
Tsunamis are not a weather phenomenon they are caused by a displacemment of water due to a transfer of energy; landslide, volcanic activity or earthquake. If a tidal surge was due to atmospheric conditions (weather) it would be called a meteotsunami
