I think that rogue wave sound better but, as I remember, the palmyra impact dealt with a meteor hit and that causing the tsunami while a rouge does not develop from impact or a shift in the earth's crust...
I got this definition out of Wikipedia:

Rogue waves are not tsunamis, which are set in motion by earthquakes [and] travel at high speed, building up as they approach the shore. Rogue waves seem to occur in deep water or where a number of physical factors such as strong winds and fast currents converge. This may have a focusing effect, which can cause a number of waves to join together.
