Yeah, it has an established ‘lava tube’ for that flow and it can be a gushing flood into the sea.   Surface breakouts are much more lethargic with slow, spreading fronts that depends upon how much viscous thermal mass are behind it.

Local TV last night had that shot showing some fools who ignored the warning barriers and went right to the edge of that cliff to look over… just as a steam explosion erupted below and sent them running back from the cliff face.  That whole area is unstable and the cliff face and lava ledge regularly break off into the ocean.
