Well, I think you have missed a part of the information mentioned in the Akalabęth. The Valar did not do anything at the approache of Ar-Pharazôn. They laid down there responsibility and commited the reaction to this breaking of a rule set by Iluvatar himself to him. All that followed was not the action of the Valar but of Eru himself.
What the Valar did before was sending warning after warning to the Numenoreans.
What else should they have done?
Respectfully
Findegil
