Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide levels will peak near 19.9 ft, but barometric pressure remains above critical flood thresholds (around 1005.5 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood is at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide likely around late evening (approximately 9:48 PM–10:00 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Coastal areas and low spots will remain safe from inundation, and travel disruptions are not expected.
• Compared to historical Category 3+ events, today’s barometric pressure is not significantly low, and the tide height is below the 20.5+ ft commonly observed in moderate floods.
• NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood score corroborates minimal threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk indicated. Although an evening tide near 19.7 ft is forecast, the barometric pressure (around 1003.3 hPa) is not especially low, and NOAA reports a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide late evening (about 10:24 PM–10:30 PM).
IMPACTS
No property or roadway flooding expected. Plan coastal activities as usual.
• While the tide is moderately high, the pressure (1003 hPa) is well above the historical low-pressure benchmarks that typically coincide with flood events.
• NOAA’s low-likelihood flood assessment further supports a stable situation near the shoreline.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Peak tide (approximately 19.4 ft) coincides with a barometric pressure of around 1001.5 hPa, which is not close to the critical 992.8 hPa threshold for severe events. NOAA again indicates 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide near midnight (around 11:54 PM–12:00 AM).
IMPACTS
No significant flooding concerns. Routine activities along the coast should be unaffected.
• Historical comparisons show that flooding generally occurs with higher tides above ~20–21 ft and notably lower pressures.
• The consistently low NOAA flood likelihood confirms little to no threat of inundation.
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.
