Summary of BNC search results

The British National Corpus contains 87 usages of tidal wave'. Of a random sample of 50:
 * none used the term in the strict oceanographic sense
 * eight referred to the literal sense of a surge in the tide (see below)
 * a few referred to floods or in one case "a tidal wave of powder snow"
 * a few were fragments (tidal wave alone or tidal wave disaster)
 * two asserted that tidal wave and tsunami are synonymous
 * one may have used the oceanographic sense figuratively (!): But will John Major and the Government go down with the sun-Saturn boat or be swept away by the sun-Pluto tidal wave on the 14th? (from Today. London: News Group Newspapers Ltd, 1992 BNC reference CEK)
 * the rest (dozens) were various figurative senses (a tidal wave of crime; swept over her like a tidal wave etc.)

Here are a few of the "surge in the tide" examples. These imply specifically that a tidal wave can be driven by the wind:
 * The Vets were not evacuated when the hurricane struck and Hemingway reports on the wind and the tidal wave that killed hundreds of them. (BNC reference CG3: Creative writing. A practical guide. Casterton, Julia. Basingstoke: Macmillan Publishers Ltd, 1992)
 * A cyclone and tidal wave in Bangladesh leave 10,000 dead. (BNC Reference HH3: New Internationalist. u.p., n.d)

These mention seismic or volcanic causes:
 * This tidal wave is a product of the combined efforts of the jostling of the crustal plates and the behaviour of the deep Ocean through which the resulting shock waves are transmitted: a small nudge in southern Chile can set up a wave that streaks across the entire Pacific in a matter of hours, with unimaginably enormous force. (BNC reference CJD: The Pacific. Winchester, Simon. London: Arrow Books Ltd, 1992)
 * The dying ripples of its massive tidal wave lapped up the English Channel, and the volcanic debris, wreathing the planet, altered weather and harvest patterns around the world for years afterwards. (BNC reference FNP: Ring of fire. Blair, Lorne. London: Bantam (Corgi), 1988)

These don't mention a cause specifically (though the rest of the account may provide context):
 * We could just see the hazy point where, in that August of 1883, the Dutch administrator of south Sumatra and his family had observed the tidal wave rise inexorably 150 feet right up to the veranda of his residence, pause, and withdraw again, taking some of his flowerpots, half the hillside, and the entire town with its population of some 800 people. (BNC reference FNP: Ring of fire. Blair, Lorne. London: Bantam (Corgi), 1988)
 *  Just over half an hour later, the tidal wave swept up to the Over bridge on the outskirts of Gloucester. (BNC reference K1E: [Central News autocue data.] u.p., n.d.)
 * The 6ft tidal wave flipped the dinghy over and threw the two families into the icy water. (BNC reference K1F: [Central News autocue data.] u.p., n.d)

This one distinguishes a tidal wave from a wind-driven innundation, but doesn't say what a tidal wave might be:
 * Perhaps because of the coral reefs, as now, there had been no tidal wave but the force of the wind had driven the sea inland, thirty feet deep in Belpan City. (BNC reference AMU: Alistair MacLean's golden girl. Gandolfi, Simon. London: Chapmans Publishers Ltd, 1992)
