Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected based on the latest data. Although the evening high tide is close to 20 feet, barometric pressure (around 1004 hPa) remains above the historically significant low-pressure thresholds, and NOAA reports a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide expected around 8:48–9:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Because barometric pressure is not critically low and winds are generally from the north (not from the more impactful W/NW directions), no significant inundation of shoreline or low-lying areas is anticipated at this time.
• The peak tide near 19.9 ft is high but not accompanied by significantly low pressure.
• Compared to past Category 3 or 4 events, current atmospheric conditions are more stable.
• NOAA’s official likelihood remains at 0%, reinforcing a low-risk outlook.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Continued low risk of any coastal flooding. Evening high tide is again below major flood thresholds at around 19.6–19.7 ft, with higher barometric pressure near 1007 hPa.
WHEN
Peak water levels expected near 9:00–9:30 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected in low-lying areas or along the immediate shoreline.
• Historically, tides below 20 ft with pressures well above 992 hPa align with no-flood outcomes.
• Wind remains relatively mild and not aligned from the more concerning W/NW direction.
• NOAA forecasts a 0.0% chance of flooding for this date, supporting the low-risk assessment.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Tidal heights are even lower than on previous days (hovering near 15–16 ft during peak times), with barometric pressure around 1003–1004 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tide occurring mid-morning and midday, but still below critical flood levels.
IMPACTS
No expected impacts to shoreline roads or infrastructure.
• Tides are well below levels associated with past moderate or severe flood events.
• NOAA’s data continues to show a 0.0% flood probability.
• Wind direction does not indicate any significant onshore push.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
• Categories 1-2: No risk of flooding.
• Category 3: Close to a flood event and worth monitoring.
• Category 4: Flooding is likely; major damage is uncertain.
• Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
