Could be wrong, but I think most of the ocean is deeper than high elevation land is high. Regardless, piles solve waves. A pile is a vertical thingy that floats in the water. The waves can do whatever they want, it just bobs up and down. A long horizontal thingy, like a barge, would get wrecked by waves applying force in different places, like holding a stick with both hands and kicking it. So with the pile, there must be some ratio of pile mass to attached mass that can be attached without endangering the structure with horizontal-ness. And if it gets really crazy, detach whatever is attached to the pile, and bring it back when the storm is done. Just an idea. Anyways, I think it's doable.

it basically a heavy mass with a particular anisotropy

it absorbs a lot of force in all directions but especially up and down

the thing is this doesn't address the problem that your things in between need to tolerate maybe as much as 100m of immersion and there needs to be a warning system that alerts the dwellers to enter and seal up for this case

as i see it, this is more practical with a tunnel burrowed into solid volcanic rock, at a high altitude, where you don't have to adapt to anything but merely need to breathe for a few weeks while everything is locked down

that's basically the countermeasure i see as most effective, unless you have gravity control and then all bets are off, a lot of things change in their difficulty because you can wrap a space in zero mass
