Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although tides may briefly approach 20 ft, barometric pressure is not sufficiently low to create flood conditions.
WHEN
The highest tides of note will occur around the early morning (near 06:12) and again later in the evening (around 20:00).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated. Normal coastal activity and minor tidal variations along shorelines are expected.
NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2025-07-14 is reported at 0.0%. Barometric pressure near the morning high tide (around 1001–1002 hPa) is somewhat lower than on completely calm days but still not in a range historically associated with flooding. Winds remain light, further reducing surge effects. These conditions, compared against past flood events featuring much higher tides (over 21 ft) and/or significantly lower barometric pressure, indicate no meaningful flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Despite a relatively high tide near or just over 20 ft and moderately low pressure near 999 hPa, both factors remain below thresholds historically linked to actual flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides of concern occur mid-morning (around 07:12) and into the evening (near 20:30).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. Tidal fluctuations could slightly affect low-lying areas but are not forecast to cause inundation or property damage.
Although barometric pressure dips below 1000 hPa, the observed tide remains below 21 ft. Historically, significant coastal flooding in this area has required tide heights exceeding 21 ft and/or extremely low barometric pressure (near or below 992.8 hPa). NOAA data for 2025-07-15 indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, further supporting a no-risk categorization.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will once again approach 20 ft during the evening hours, and pressures remain around 1001 hPa, which is not indicative of a coastal flooding setup.
WHEN
Peak tide occurs late in the evening (around 21:12), with relatively moderate barometric pressure near 1001 hPa.
IMPACTS
No known flooding impacts. Normal marine conditions prevail, with only routine minor tidal effects along the shoreline.
NOAA’s forecast continues to reflect a 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-07-16. Though nighttime tides briefly near 20 ft, historical flooding events in Redondo Beach have typically involved tide heights above 21 ft and/or much lower barometric pressure. Current wind speeds/wind directions are not conducive to onshore storm surge, ensuring minimal risk.
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.
