Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Normal tidal fluctuations with no expected flooding impacts.
WHEN
Highest tide near 8:48 PM (approx. 19.88 ft), but barometric pressure remains safely above severe thresholds (~1004.46 hPa). NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
IMPACTS
No impactful flooding anticipated in low-lying areas. Conditions are well above critical low-pressure thresholds observed in past flood events.
Comparisons to historical Category 3 and higher events show significantly lower tide heights and higher pressure. Winds remain moderate from the north/northwest, further minimizing flooding concerns. NOAA’s flood likelihood is also very low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Normal high tide near 9:24 PM (approx. 19.66 ft) but coupled with higher barometric pressure (~1007.60 hPa).
WHEN
Peak tide late evening. NOAA reports a 0.0% likelihood of flooding.
IMPACTS
No anticipated inundation; roads and coastal areas should remain unaffected.
Despite a moderately high tide, the pressure is substantially above the low-pressure zones associated with historical flooding (near or below 992.8 hPa). Overall risk remains minimal.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Highest tide late evening (around 9:54–10:00 PM up to ~19.39 ft) with moderate barometric pressure (~1003.26 hPa).
WHEN
Evening hours, with tide peaking near 10:00 PM. NOAA likelihood remains at 0.0%.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding is expected; conditions are not aligning with prior flood-inducing patterns.
Compared with past Category 3–5 events, tide levels remain below the ~21 ft-plus benchmark paired with significantly lower pressures that typically signal flood concerns. Winds stay mild from the northerly directions, reducing the push of water inland.
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 however, it is uncertain if this will cause major property damage.
Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
