Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on July 5. Projected maximum tide levels will reach around 16.9 ft during mid-afternoon, but NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak high tide is anticipated around early-to-mid afternoon (approximately 15:00–15:30).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Normal marine conditions are anticipated with no significant inundation to low-lying areas.
• Barometric pressure readings near high tide (996.5 hPa) are not sufficiently low to raise concerns, and still remain above historical lows associated with flood events.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis gives a 0.0% chance of flooding, reinforcing the conclusion that conditions are not conducive to coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on July 6. Tides will be higher than on July 5 (around 17.9 ft in the afternoon), but remain below thresholds typically connected with significant flood events.
WHEN
Highest tides are most likely from mid-to-late afternoon (approximately 15:30–16:30).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Shorelines, roads, and low-lying areas should see minimal effect from tidal changes.
• Although the barometric pressure drops slightly (around 998.9 hPa near one of the high tides), it is not near the historical low-pressure benchmarks (below ~992.8 hPa) that correlate strongly with flood events.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains 0.0%, which significantly lowers the possibility of any flood-related issues.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on July 7, despite the highest tides of the three-day period (near 18.6 ft in the late afternoon).
WHEN
Peak high tide is projected in the late afternoon to early evening (around 16:30–17:00).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Conditions near the coastline are anticipated to remain normal without any notable inundation.
• While the tide height approaches 18.6 ft, barometric pressure (around 1005 hPa) remains too high compared to historical severe-flood events, and NOAA indicates no ongoing or imminent flood risk.
• NOAA’s analysis assigns a 0.0% flood likelihood for July 7, indicating that local factors do not support coastal flooding development.
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.
