Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of coastal flooding is anticipated. Tide heights will be below critical levels, and barometric pressure is not near the low threshold associated with past flood events.
WHEN Peak high tide is expected around mid-morning (09:12 AM) and early afternoon (02:48 PM) on 2025-07-20.
IMPACTS No significant flooding impacts are expected. Shorelines, low-lying roads, and beach areas are unlikely to experience any notable inundation.
Barometric pressure readings of approximately 998.7 hPa to 1001.7 hPa during the higher tides are well above the historic low-pressure thresholds associated with confirmed flood events (sub-993 hPa). The forecast from NOAA CO-OPS indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, further supporting a no-risk scenario. Compared to historical flooding episodes (which often featured tides above 21 feet and dramatically lower pressures), current conditions do not align with moderate or severe categories.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No coastal flooding is expected. Tides remain elevated but not at a level typically associated with inundation. Pressure readings also remain above critical low thresholds.
WHEN Higher tides occur nearer to the early-morning hours (around 00:00 and 05:00 AM) on 2025-07-21.
IMPACTS No notable effects on coastal roads or infrastructure. Beachfront areas should remain unaffected by flooding.
Barometric pressure around 999.8–1002.4 hPa at key tidal peaks is significantly higher than past flood-triggering levels, and tides forecast near 19 feet are below the ~21-foot benchmark observed in more serious historical events. NOAA’s forecast continues to show a 0.0% flood likelihood, indicating stable conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding. Although tides may reach near 19 feet in the afternoon, barometric pressure remains above the typical danger threshold for this region, reducing flood concerns.
WHEN Highest tide is anticipated around mid-afternoon (approximately 04:42 PM) on 2025-07-22.
IMPACTS No significant coastal or roadway flooding is expected.
Projected barometric pressure is near 999.1 hPa at the tide peak—still well above historically critical lows. Combined with NOAA CO-OPS data showing 0.0% flood likelihood, no flooding issues are forecast. Winds from the W/NW remain light, further minimizing any surge effect.
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.
