Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tide levels will be higher than the historically low Category 1 event but remain well below thresholds seen during past flood events. Barometric pressure near 999 hPa is not sufficiently low to increase flood risk, and NOAA’s forecast shows 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Minor tidal peaks will occur around midday (12:00) and late evening (23:06), but neither is anticipated to produce coastal flooding.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts anticipated. Shorelines and low-lying roads are expected to remain unaffected.
• Tide heights will reach approximately 18.7 ft at peak—lower than the ~20–22 ft levels typically associated with notable flooding in Redondo Beach.
• Past moderate flood events usually coincide with tide heights of 20+ ft combined with substantially lower barometric pressure (~992 hPa or below).
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood for July 3 is 0.0%, indicating minimal concern for flood conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Afternoon and late-night tidal peaks (particularly near 23:42) remain below the higher-risk thresholds. Barometric pressure around 999–1000 hPa does not approach the historically significant low-pressure levels that have contributed to prior floods.
WHEN
Peak tides occur around midday (13:54) and again late at night (23:42). Neither period is likely to produce flooding.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts to infrastructure or property are anticipated.
• Despite slightly higher afternoon tides than on Day 1, the overall combination of tide height (~18.4 ft) and moderate barometric pressure (~999.4 hPa) is insufficient to generate flooding.
• Prior Category 4 and 5 events featured tide heights that exceeded 20 ft coupled with notably lower pressures.
• NOAA’s daily flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, reinforcing the expectation of no flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Though barometric pressure dips closer to 996 hPa in the morning, tides remain notably below the ~20+ ft range observed during past flooding incidents.
WHEN
Tidal highs will occur early morning (around 05:30 and 09:00) and mid-afternoon (13:00–15:00). None of these is forecast to cause coastal flooding.
IMPACTS
No hazardous impacts anticipated. Usual beach and shoreline activities should be unaffected.
• The highest tide (around 16.9–17.0 ft midday) is significantly lower than the 20+ ft levels typically seen in flood-prone events.
• While the barometric pressure is somewhat lower (~996 hPa) than on prior days, it is still above the historically critical threshold near 992 hPa.
• NOAA’s official likelihood remains 0.0% for July 5, indicating minimal chance of tidal flooding.
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.
