Detonating a nuclear bomb on the surface or in shallow waters can produce a tsunami sized wave who's size is determined by the strength of the nuclear bomb.
Even a small nuclear device detonated in shallow waters just off the coast of a city could send a wall of water on shore.

What I'm getting at here is wouldn't the nuke be shot down anyway? Wether or not it'll it land or water?

How is anybody going to know for certain who sent it after it has exploded. For all you know it just as easily could be Israel or Pakistan. It could be South Africa as a warning to stay out of Africa. It could be anyone.
If the US launches against NK with no credible proof, China will retaliate and MAD hell breaks loose.

Eric, we all know that airburst is the best. What we are saying is that if you can't do that because your tech is just not good enough, then what other options are there.
If you can't sneak a weapon into a port then this is the next best alternative. A bomb denoted at just the right distance could cause a tsunami to devastate a port city.
Just think of a tsunami hitting that lovely row of carriers just sitting there like ducks on a still pond. Tempting?
