This is the most intense tsunami footage I've ever seen. It purportedly shows the tsunami from the 29 July Mw 8.8 quake in Kamchatka, Russia, filmed in that same region. Source: seismic.kiwi on TikTok, although I've seen this video all over the internet and may originally be from VK or Telegram.

The video quality is poor, but the constructive and destructive interference patterns in the waveforms are clear. Note how, when two waves constructively interfere, they're capable of driving water tens of metres above the shoreline onto even locally high-standing terrain.

Some people say 'why go walk there', well there is a small settlement at this bay. Fortunately that is up on the cliffs...

It's literally the whole damn ocean sloshing over the rim.
