Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tides, peaking around the late afternoon (near 18:18), do not surpass critical thresholds, and the barometric pressure remains relatively high compared to past flooding events.
WHEN
Greatest tidal heights around midday (12:54) and late afternoon (18:18).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding. Normal tidal fluctuations with minimal impacts on coastal areas.
• Tide levels approach approximately 19.4 ft at their peak, notably below the historical 21+ ft marks seen in more severe flood events.
• Barometric pressure of ~1005 hPa is much higher than the low-pressure systems (<992.8 hPa) typically associated with flood conditions.
• NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, reinforcing that a flood event is not expected.
• Compared to the severe event on 12/27/2022 (Category 5), tides are lower and pressure is markedly higher, reducing the risk of any notable coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Although the tide is significant, it remains below levels historically linked to flooding, and the barometric pressure does not hover near critical low values.
WHEN
Key tidal highs come pre-dawn (around 03:48) and midday (13:36).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected for local roads, beaches, or low-lying areas.
• Peak tides can reach approximately 19.5 ft, which is still under the more critical 20+ ft thresholds seen in past Category 3 or greater events.
• Barometric pressures (~1003–1004 hPa) remain well above the historically significant low-pressure benchmarks.
• NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, indicating a continued low chance of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The forecasted tide heights, while moderately high, remain insufficient to suggest coastal flood concerns, and pressure levels do not indicate significant storm factors.
WHEN
Notable high tides occur in the early morning (04:30) and early evening (19:12).
IMPACTS
No expected flooding in low-lying or vulnerable areas.
• The highest tide is near 19.7 ft, still lower than historical flooding levels and paired with a moderately high barometric pressure (~1003 hPa).
• NOAA data continues to show a 0.0% likelihood of flooding, suggesting stable weather patterns.
• Historical Category 5 conditions (such as 12/27/2022’s ~22 ft tide and extremely low pressure near 978 hPa) are not approached, reinforcing a low flood potential.
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 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
