Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Tides will peak near 18.4 ft around midday and late evening, but these levels remain below the historical flood thresholds and are paired with moderately low (but not critical) barometric pressure near 1000 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tides around 13:54 and 23:42 local time on 07-04.
IMPACTS
No flooding of roads or low-lying areas anticipated. Typical coastal activity is expected with no significant issues forecast.
Although the tide height is higher than some lower-category past events, it remains below 21 ft, and the barometric pressure is not near the critical low range (below about 992.8 hPa). In addition, NOAA’s flood likelihood is reported at 0%. Historical comparisons show significantly higher tides and/or much lower pressures have been associated with notable flooding in this area.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected this day as well. The highest tides will be under 19 ft and barometric pressure, although dipping to around 996 hPa, is still not critically low.
WHEN
Highest tides observed around early morning (05:30) and mid-morning (09:00) on 07-05.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding concerns; routine marine and waterfront activities should proceed normally without flood-related disruptions.
Even though the atmospheric pressure is somewhat lower on 07-05 than on 07-04, it remains above the historically relevant flood threshold of ~992.8 hPa. With tides still below 21 ft and NOAA’s flood likelihood remaining at 0%, conditions do not align with typical flood scenarios observed in prior Category 3-5 events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is indicated. Tides near 18 ft and barometric pressure around 999–1002 hPa do not suggest any flood-triggering combination.
WHEN
Highest tides occurring around 00:18 and 05:42 local time on 07-06.
IMPACTS
Flooding of low-lying coastal areas is not expected; normal tidal variations with no noteworthy impact.
Day 3 maintains relatively higher pressure levels and a long-range NOAA forecast of 0% flood likelihood. Historically, to reach Category 3 or higher, local tides often exceed 20 ft with lower barometric pressure and/or stronger onshore winds. None of those indicators are present in the current data, aligning closely with a no-risk Category 2 assessment.
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.
