No. They are predictable, if an 6.5 or higher earthquake happens near or/and in the sea it could generate what we call tsunami.

Which is worse earthquakes or tsunamis?

Earthquakes are worse than tsunamis. Earthquakes are mostly unpredictable but tsunamis are sometimes predictable which sets warning for people to escape shore. Earthquakes destroy buildings but tsunamis don't. When tsunamis hit land, the buildings acts like a strong shield that cuts through the tsunami like what the wind-breaker does to the wind. Earthquakes can do more damage than tsunamis because earthquakes destroy buildings which takes much short time than rebuilding it which tsunamis only cause flash flooding which can be recovered as soon as possible. It's very difficult to escape an earthquake but it's sometimes easy to escape a tsunami. It's very difficult to recover the earthquake damage, therefore earthquakes are considered as the modest natural disaster.

Tsunamis swells and rip currents?

It is possible that Tsunamis can change the direction of a current as it swells, but will not destroy it completely. After a small tsunami hits the shore, the currents can return to their original course. If a tsunami is very strong, the current will not be able to return to its original position. So, the fate of the currents really depend on whether the tsunami is big or small. In my opinion, a tsunami is unpredictable.
