Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will reach around 18 feet near midnight and early morning hours, but based on the latest data, no coastal flooding is anticipated.
WHEN
Highest tides around 00:18 AM and 05:42 AM PDT.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts expected: low-lying areas may see minimal water encroachment, but property damage or widespread flooding is unlikely.
• Barometric pressure is somewhat lower (near 999 hPa) relative to calmer weather but not low enough—or paired with high enough tides—to suggest flooding.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%, signaling negligible flood risk.
• Compared with historical Category 3 events where tides or pressure were more extreme and indicated minor flooding, conditions here are less severe.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides could exceed 18.5 feet in the late afternoon, but conditions are not expected to produce flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide occurs near 16:48 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
Coastal areas remain largely unaffected, with minimal potential for standing water. No known threats to property or infrastructure.
• Despite slightly higher tides, the barometric pressure around 1007 hPa and calm wind conditions reduce the chance of flooding.
• NOAA indicates a 0% likelihood for flooding, reinforcing the assessment of no significant risk.
• Historical Category 3 or 4 flooding events typically involved tides near or above 19–20 ft and/or notably lower pressures.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Late afternoon tides may approach 18.7 feet but remain below typical flood-trigger levels.
WHEN
Highest tide forecast around 17:24 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No operational disruptions are expected. Minor puddling in very low-lying spots is possible, but no flood damage or closures are anticipated.
• Barometric pressure of around 1007–1008 hPa and no strong onshore winds suggest continued low flood potential.
• NOAA’s data project a 0% chance of flooding, matching local observations of moderate tidal elevations.
• In comparison to past events categorized as 3 or higher, tides on Day 3 are not sufficiently extreme for notable 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.
