It would result in big waves and a risk of them turning into tsunamis or first earthquakes and then even bigger tsunamis as it punctures the ocean floor.
If the rods do get as hot as they say, then there won't be any reduction in impact strength.
When something REALLY hot gets close to water the water instantly vaporizes and creates a vapor pocket called the The Leidenfrost Effect. It actually cushions the payload and prevents the water from slowing it down due to friction with the water.
Wondering what a "Rod from God" does if it hits the ocean rather than land....
It's potentially more dangerous.
