Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides are expected to reach nearly 20 feet by the evening, but with barometric pressure remaining well above critical low thresholds and NOAA’s official outlook showing a 0% flood likelihood, no flooding is forecast.
WHEN
Highest tide near 8:00 PM on 2025-07-14.
IMPACTS
No significant flood impacts expected at this time. Shorelines and low-lying areas should remain unaffected given the relatively modest wind conditions and the higher pressure readings.
• Barometric pressure readings of approximately 1001–1002 hPa are higher than those seen in severe past events (e.g., below 992.8 hPa).
• The tide will peak around 19.998 ft, which is below the more critical 21 ft mark observed in previous moderate-to-severe flooding scenarios.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis for 2025-07-14 indicates no coastal flooding is expected.
• Compared with Category 3 historical events, the official likelihood of flooding for this day is notably lower.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide levels may again approach the 20 ft mark later in the day, but current barometric pressure forecasts (hovering near 999–1000 hPa) are not low enough to raise significant concerns.
WHEN
Highest tide near 8:00 PM on 2025-07-15.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts anticipated for low-lying areas or shorelines. Conditions should remain stable, and no major property issues are expected.
• While 999 hPa is lower than Day 1 readings, it remains well above the historically dangerous threshold of ~992.8 hPa.
• Tide predictions around 20.0–20.04 ft remain under the 21 ft benchmark often associated with notable flooding.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains at 0%, consistent with minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Despite tides reaching about 20 ft in the evening, barometric pressure levels are forecast around 1001 hPa, and winds are not aligned from the more flood-prone directions (strong westerly or southwesterly flows).
WHEN
Highest tide expected late in the day, around or just after 8:00 PM on 2025-07-16.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated; routine tidal fluctuations are expected. No property damage or coastal road closures are forecast based on available data.
• The barometric pressure remains well above the critically low levels seen in past Category 4–5 flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%, indicating very low probabilities of flooding conditions.
• Even though tides approach 20 ft, these levels have not historically produced flooding without lower pressure or stronger onshore winds.
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.
