This is a text about wave train evolution in the surf zone. Here is the context:
Sin embargo, cuando la rotura de las olas está forzada por arrecifes o diques sumergidos, a sotomar de ellos, las olas dejan de romper y el nivel del mar desciende. Esta diferencia de nivel genera una circulación de agua por encima del arrecife y que*** se evacua lateralmente***, a lo largo de la costa.

Runs/flows off down the coast along the coastline
Not much explanation needed…
Evacuarse means to empty, drain, discharge as Lamarche says
In my opinion none of these is really suitable here. The dynamics of the reef system makes the water flow parallel to the coastline
