Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the evening high tide will reach around 20.0 ft, barometric pressure remains well above the historically significant low-pressure threshold (992.8 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is listed as 0%, indicating minimal concern for coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 8:30–8:45 PM PDT on 07-15-2025.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts or property damage are expected.
Compared to historical events of similar tide heights that resulted in Category 3 or 4 conditions, this scenario has higher barometric pressure, lower wind speeds, and NOAA shows a 0% chance of flooding. Thus, despite a relatively high tide, conditions do not support coastline inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is anticipated. Tides may again approach 20.0 ft, but the pressure forecast is above the critical low range, and NOAA’s forecast remains at a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest risk timeframe around 8:45–9:15 PM PDT on 07-16-2025.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding or damage to property is expected.
Historical data shows that flooding concerns rise with lower barometric pressure and stronger onshore winds; these factors are not present. The moderate tides alone are insufficient to trigger flood conditions, matching NOAA’s guidance.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Evening tides will be slightly below 20 ft, and barometric pressure remains high enough to reduce coastal flooding concerns. NOAA projects 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide window around 9:30–9:50 PM PDT on 07-17-2025.
IMPACTS
No property damage or notable inundation along the coast is expected.
Even though tides near 20 ft have coincided with higher flood categories in other months, those events involved notably lower pressure and higher onshore winds. Present conditions are not comparable, as shown by NOAA’s low flood risk assessment.
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.
