Here's Thor's Well from another angle a bit earlier in the day. I don't think I've ever seen a shot from this angle, with Cape Perpetua in the distance. For one, most people are interested in the sunset shot here, which set's in the opposite direction. Two, it's a fairly intimidating spot-- when the well fills up, splash comes up right at this spot.
A nice fellow at a safe distance took this shot for me on my phone.

I'm in full chest-high waders . My tripod legs are a few inches deep as the water retreats here. I'm using a fully waterproof rain jacket to cover the camera to keep it from being hit by wave splash and to keep the lens element clean of the abundant sea spray in the air.
When the water starts retreating, I remove the jacket quickly, and snap the shot with remote shutter. Even with this technique, there was such abundant sea spray in the air I had to clean the lens front after every shot.
Water probably got a little past my knees here.
Here's the final shot:
