There was massive waves and water damage caused by falling debris from Dalamud. One great example is lower La Noscea, which suffered considerable damage, and a good portion of Gods' Grip was submerged as a result. In fact, the lighthouse visible across the water from the Mists or Moraby Bay is called Llymlaen's Ring and you could actually walk out to it in 1.0. Tiger's Helm Island, another island off the coast of Gods' Grip was submerged entirely. My own character used to ICly have a bungalow on the isle before the Calamity washed it away. There was also extensive damage done to ships that were at sea. I'm at work currently, but I'll edit in lore text when I get home.

Here I chime in to talk a little bit about how the lay of the land in this area has changed since 1.X. Before the Calamity, the southeastern coast of Vylbrand was shaped like an upside-down U called the Gods’ Grip with Moraby Bay in the middle. On the western tip of the upside-down U is one lighthouse called Oschon’s Torch (still accessible today), on the eastern tip is another lighthouse called Llymlaen’s Ring (no longer accessible by land, due to the Calamity, but still visible from the shore). I mention that while in the Japanese, the lighthouses are merely called Oschon’s Lighthouse and Llymlaen’s Lighthouse (ç¯å°=TODAI), the EN continues with the hand/grip imagery by using the more abstract torch (held by Oschon during his wanderings) and ring (ever shining on the Navigator’s finger).
Mochizuki-san asked if there was some connection between Oschon and Llymlaen, Oda-san answering that in mythology there were several connections, Oschon being the god of mountains, Llymlaen being the goddess of the seas. He mentions that there are even stories that mention a curious Oschon sneaking a peek at a bathing Llymlaen, to which the goddess replies by throwing a knife at the peeping Wanderer. Mochizuki-san finds this absurd, but Oda-san mentions that similar types of stories exist even in Greek mythology.
