It depends on where you are located, not just how distant you are from Chili but also the angle. They are forecasting a cone-shaped zone of effect heading directly towards Hawaii. See:The Tsunami is big enough to be dangerous but seems not to be too major :

Hawaii is ~3 hours more distant (as the wave travels) from the location of the earthquake in Chili than New Zealand, so the expectation is that the wave will hit Hawaii a little later than first forecast.
ObNANOG: Does anyone know if transoceanic cable landing facilities are sited and built to resist damage a tsunami of a particular height/strength? (Thinking back to the video of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004.)
