Hawaii and parts of Japan downgraded tsunami warnings, with Hawaii lifting evacuation orders across the state while leaving a tsunami advisory in place.
Officials in Hawaii said residents who had evacuated could return to their homes.
Maj. Gen. Stephen Logan, the Adjutant General of the State of Hawaii Department of Defense, said an advisory means there is the potential for strong currents and dangerous waves, as well as flooding on beaches or in harbors.
The biggest wave recorded there was a 5.7 feet above sea level off of Kahulu, which is on the island of Oahu.
There have been no reports of major damage but there was some flooding near a hotel on the Big Island.
At the height of the tsunami concerns, tourists were urged to stay away from the coast and stay in place.
