Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tide heights may reach around 19.4 feet later in the evening, barometric pressure is forecast to remain safely above the very low thresholds historically associated with coastal flooding, and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides occur mid-to-late evening (roughly after 9:00 PM local time), but no flooding issues are anticipated.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are expected in low-lying or shore-adjacent areas. Normal beach activity and coastal operations should not be affected.
• Tide heights near 19.4 feet are lower than most historically problematic events, which have generally exceeded 20 feet combined with a pressure near or below 992.8 hPa.
• Comparison to Category 4 events (for example, 01/07/2022 with a tide near 19.25 ft but significantly lower pressure at 992.8 hPa) shows that current pressure remains too high to pose a flood risk.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood data for 2025-07-01 indicates 0.0% chance, reinforcing that no inundation is expected.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides could again approach 19 feet during nighttime hours, but with barometric pressure remaining near or above 1000 hPa, conditions are not conducive to coastal flooding. NOAA ranks the flood likelihood as low (0%).
WHEN
Peak tides will occur in the late evening (around 10:30 PM onward), but are not expected to cause any flood-related issues.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts are anticipated, and routine shoreline activities should proceed without interruption.
• Although tide heights are somewhat elevated, they remain below the levels of major past floods, especially given the moderate barometric pressure readings.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., 12/27/2023 at 17.46 ft, Category 3) suggest that despite reaching around 19 ft on this day, NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood and the relatively higher air pressure keep the flood category low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The highest tide may approach around 18.7 feet late at night (around 11:00 PM), but predicted barometric pressure near 997 hPa is not low enough to contribute to a flood threat. NOAA’s forecast continues to show 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Overnight high tide, roughly 11:00 PM to midnight, poses no anticipated flooding risk.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding concerns and no property damage expected in vulnerable waterfront or low-lying zones.
• Tide heights on this day, although slightly elevated, remain below those seen in notable Category 4 or 5 historical events and coincide with higher-than-critical barometric pressures.
• NOAA data again indicates a 0% flood likelihood, confirming that conditions are far from the lower pressure levels and higher tide thresholds typically required for coastal flooding in this region.
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.
