Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No immediate risk of coastal flooding. The highest tide is anticipated in the afternoon, reaching near 19.3 ft with barometric pressure around 1002 hPa.
WHEN
Primary high tide peak around 16:42 local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected. Low-lying areas see no notable inundation. Normal beach and shoreline conditions anticipated.
• NOAA flood likelihood is 0.0%, well below threshold conditions.
• Tide levels are below 21 ft and barometric pressure is not near the critical low of 992.8 hPa used in past severe events.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., Category 3 and above) show significantly higher flooding likelihood and/or lower pressure than forecast today.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Continued low flood risk. Tides near 19.7 ft in the afternoon and pressure around 1000–1001 hPa remain higher than the severe-weather thresholds for flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide around 17:18 local time.
IMPACTS
No known roadway or property flooding likely. Routine coastal conditions are anticipated.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• Comparisons with historical moderate to severe flood events indicate that both tide height and barometric pressure values are insufficient to prompt flooding concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected despite another relatively high tide near 19.8 ft in the late afternoon to early evening. Barometric pressure, while slightly lower than normal, is not near the critical threshold.
WHEN
Main high tide peaks between mid-to-late afternoon (around 17:54–18:00 local time).
IMPACTS
No expected inundation or property damage. Typical beach conditions should continue.
• NOAA’s analysis still shows a 0.0% flood likelihood.
• Pressure remains roughly 999–1000 hPa, nowhere near the historically lower pressures that contributed to coastal flooding (e.g., below 992.8 hPa).
• No signs of weather patterns aligning with major flooding episodes documented in past Category 3+ events.
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.
