Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on July 2. Although the highest tide is around 19.07 ft near 10:30 PM with a barometric pressure of approximately 1001.22 hPa, these values are below the critical thresholds observed in past flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide expected near 10:30 PM local time on July 2.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected to pose no threat to property or infrastructure.
Historically, higher-risk flooding has occurred at or above 21 ft tide heights combined with notably low barometric pressure (around or below 992.8 hPa). Current NOAA data for July 2 indicates a 0% flood likelihood. These conditions align more closely with typical high tides rather than any significant flood scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on July 3. The highest tide, around 18.72 ft near 11:06 PM, coincides with a moderately low barometric pressure of about 999.31 hPa but remains well above the more dangerous low-pressure thresholds observed in historical flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide expected near 11:06 PM local time on July 3.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas and shorelines should experience routine tidal conditions without inundation.
Although the barometric pressure drops slightly below 1000 hPa, the critical 21 ft tide level is not approached, and NOAA’s flood likelihood stands at 0%. Comparisons with past Category 3 or higher flood events—where tides exceeded 20 ft and pressure was notably lower—further support the assessment that this remains a no-risk situation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on July 4. The projected maximum tide near midnight (just above 18.3 ft) and a barometric pressure of roughly 994.94 hPa, though lower than Day 1 and Day 2, do not meet the historical conditions for significant coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide expected near 11:42 PM local time on July 4.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected alongside slightly lower pressures, but the tide height remains below flood-concerning levels.
Despite a barometric pressure that is somewhat lower than the first two days, the predicted tide remains under 21 ft. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%, indicating minimal risk. Historically, events causing coastal flooding involved tides exceeding 21 ft combined with substantially lower pressures, neither of which is expected.
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.
