Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-07-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tides will peak around 19.7 ft in the early evening, these levels remain below the 21 ft threshold typically associated with flood concerns in the area.

WHEN
Highest tide near 19:12 PST, but barometric pressure remains well above critical lows.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations may result in minor ponding along very low-lying beaches, but no property damage or significant coastal inundation is expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric pressure is around 1007.75 hPa, higher than thresholds historically linked with flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.0%, reinforcing no flood risk.
• Historical comparison with events exceeding 20–21 ft tides confirms that current conditions do not align with significant flooding scenarios.


Day 2: 2025-07-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will again peak below 20 ft, remaining under the critical level for concern.

WHEN
Highest tide near 19:42 PST, with barometric pressure around 1006.25 hPa.

IMPACTS
No coastal flooding or property damage is expected. Minimal impacts, if any, will be confined to normally wet areas along the immediate shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Even with slightly lower pressure than Day 1, conditions remain well above the historical low-pressure benchmarks that typically signal higher flood risk.
• NOAA projects a 0.0% flood likelihood, and the distance to threshold remains safely negative.


Day 3: 2025-07-14

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected despite marginally lower barometric pressure. Tides could briefly approach 20.0 ft, but still remain below the 21 ft flood concern threshold.

WHEN
Highest tide late in the evening, reaching around 19.99 ft.

IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. Shoreline areas can expect typical high tide conditions without significant inundation or threat to property.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric pressure near 1000.32 hPa, which is somewhat lower than on Days 1 and 2 but still not critically low for this region.
• NOAA maintains a 0.0% flood likelihood; historical events that reached Category 4 or higher typically combined lower pressure with tides exceeding 21 ft.


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.
