Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-07-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Tides are forecast to peak near 19.5 ft, but barometric pressure remains well above 992.8 hPa, and NOAA Flood Likelihood is reported at 0%.

WHEN
Highest tides will occur around early morning (03:48) and midday (13:36) on July 11, with no significant flooding anticipated at either high tide.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying roads and other areas should remain accessible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric pressure measurements near each high tide (around 1001.48 hPa in early morning and 1005.19 hPa by midday) are substantially higher than the historically significant 992.8 hPa threshold.
• Although the tide height reaches about 19.5 ft, this is below levels associated with previous moderate flood events (generally above 20 ft, often paired with much lower pressure).
• NOAA CO-OPS indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding for July 11, reinforcing the low-risk assessment.


Day 2: 2025-07-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected despite another moderately high tide nearing 19.7 ft.

WHEN
Peak tide is early morning (around 04:30) and again in the early evening (19:12). Conditions are not expected to produce flooding at either time.

IMPACTS
No adverse impacts anticipated. Normal activities in coastal and low-lying areas can proceed without interruption.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• The barometric pressure readings near high tide (about 1003.90 hPa and 1006.86 hPa) remain well above the critical low-pressure markers that historically coincide with flood events.
• Tides, while relatively high, remain below the 21 ft level that has been associated with past flood categories.
• NOAA continues to indicate a 0.0% daily flood likelihood for July 12, supporting a no-flood-risk outcome.


Day 3: 2025-07-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected, even though the tide briefly approaches 19.9 ft, thanks to relatively stable weather conditions.

WHEN
Highest water levels occur around pre-dawn (05:18) and again near evening (19:42).

IMPACTS
No flooding issues are anticipated. Coastal roadways and properties should remain unaffected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric pressure near high tide times (around 1004.04 hPa in the early morning and 1003.50 hPa in the evening) does not approach the historically low levels that have led to moderate or severe flooding.
• Although the crest approaches 19.9 ft, this remains below the more critical levels seen in flood-prone historical events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0% for July 13.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
