Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The tide, peaking near 18.6 ft, is below typical flood thresholds and coupled with relatively high barometric pressure around 1009 hPa.
WHEN
The highest tide occurs around the afternoon (approximately 4:00–5:00 PM), but no flooding or inundation concerns are anticipated.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal coastal conditions are expected, with no road closures or property damage.
NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, which aligns with the moderate tide height and relatively high barometric pressure. Historical Category 3 events have typically involved either significantly higher tide levels (20+ ft) or notably lower barometric pressure. The conditions on July 7 remain well below those more serious benchmarks.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is forecast, with tide levels just under 19 ft and barometric pressures near 1009 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tide is predicted during the late afternoon to early evening (approximately 4:00–5:30 PM).
IMPACTS
No immediate flood impacts. Coastal areas are expected to remain unaffected.
Although the tide is slightly higher than on Day 1, it still does not approach the 20+ ft thresholds found in past Category 3 or higher events. Barometric pressure remains well above the historical low-pressure triggers (below ~992 hPa). NOAA likewise indicates a 0.0% likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides near 19.2 ft, though relatively high, are counterbalanced by pressures above 1007 hPa and calm wind conditions.
WHEN
Peak tidal activity in the afternoon to early evening, around 5:00–6:00 PM.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding. No impact to roads or low-lying areas based on current projections.
Comparing with historical data (such as the 01/06/2025 Category 3 event near 20.7 ft), these tide levels remain lower and the barometric pressure is not sufficiently low to present a flooding threat. NOAA’s probability projection remains at 0%.
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.
