Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach around 19 feet near midnight and late evening, but barometric pressures are not low enough to elevate flood concerns.
WHEN
Key high tides for July 20 include:
• Around 09:12 AM (mean pressure ~998.65 hPa)
• Around 02:48 PM (mean pressure ~1002.49 hPa)
• Highest levels late night around 11:54 PM (tide ~19.12 ft, pressure likely above critical low thresholds).
IMPACTS
No flooding issues anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations should not affect roadways or low-lying areas.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for July 20 is 0.0%, well below any coastal flood threshold. Historically, tides under 21 ft coupled with pressures above 992.8 hPa (and moderate wind) have not produced notable flooding in Redondo Beach. Compared to higher-category historical events (e.g., 12/27/2022 with 22.297 ft and very low pressure), current conditions align with minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Tides remain under critical levels, and barometric pressure is forecast to stay well above historically low readings that correlate with flood events.
WHEN
Notable high tides for July 21 include:
• Around 00:00 (midnight) at ~19 ft (mean pressure ~1002.99 hPa)
• Around 05:00 AM with pressure ~1000.55 hPa
Peak tides will not exceed thresholds typically associated with even minor flooding events.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal impacts. Normal tidal cycles are forecast, with no disruptions to local infrastructure.
NOAA’s flood likelihood for July 21 is also 0.0%. The tide heights and atmospheric pressures are higher than catastrophic reference points but do not approach the critical low pressure/tide height combination (below ~992.8 hPa and above ~21 ft) that historically produces Category 4 or 5 flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk anticipated. While another high tide will approach 19 ft, barometric pressure around 998.92 hPa at 4:42 PM remains above the critical low threshold.
WHEN
• High tide at ~01:00 AM (pressure ~1002.07 hPa)
• High tide at ~04:42 PM (tide near 19 ft, pressure ~998.92 hPa)
IMPACTS
No property impacts expected. Residents and businesses in low-lying areas should see normal tidal activity without inland water intrusion.
According to NOAA’s data, July 22 also shows 0.0% flood likelihood. Compared to severe past events (e.g., 12/27/2022 with both extremely low pressure and tides well over 21 ft), today’s conditions are not supportive of flooding.
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.
