Has the giant whirlpool / swirl in ocean off Japan during tsunami been explained?

One of the early aerial videos of tsunami in Japan showed a giant whirlpool feature with a ocean vessels nearby. I am curious if anyone has offered an explanation. Was it tides, currents, winds, specific effect of tsunami wave(s) or hole in ocean floor??
