Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Tidal levels are expected to peak near 19.7 feet by late afternoon (around 17:18), with moderately low barometric pressure near 1000 hPa. These readings place conditions close to but not definitively at a flood event, warranting monitoring but unlikely to cause property damage.
WHEN
From mid to late afternoon into the early evening of 07/23/2025.
IMPACTS
Minor coastal water intrusion is possible in vulnerable, low-lying areas. Widespread flooding or notable property damage is not anticipated.
• Compared to historical Category 3 events (e.g., 01/06/2025 with a 20.68 ft tide but higher air pressure), the slightly lower tide and moderately low pressure here still suggest a “close to flood” scenario.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains at 0%, indicating no immediate concern based on their threshold.
• Wind speeds are on the lower side and not likely to exacerbate conditions.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Tide levels will once again reach elevated heights—close to 19.86 feet in the afternoon/early evening—accompanied by barometric pressures hovering near 1000–1002 hPa. Conditions remain well worth observing but do not appear severe.
WHEN
Highest tides and potential minor impacts are anticipated through the late afternoon into the early evening of 07/24/2025.
IMPACTS
Mainly nuisance effects along the shoreline. Significant flooding or property damage is unlikely at these forecast levels and pressures.
• Tide predictions are slightly higher than Day 1, yet remain below the more serious historical flood thresholds (above ~20 ft and much lower pressure).
• NOAA’s flood likelihood continues at 0%.
• Winds are not forecast to be strong enough to amplify tidal flooding risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Tidal peaks may approach about 19.88 feet in the early evening (around 18:30), with pressure projections near 1000 hPa. These readings are still below major flood benchmarks but remain marginally concerning for very low-lying spots.
WHEN
From mid to late evening on 07/25/2025, centered near the high tide period.
IMPACTS
Minor pooling in low shoreline roads and parking areas is possible. Property damage is not expected given the current pressure and tidal forecasts.
• Although the tide is slightly higher than the previous two days, barometric pressure is not dipping into the “significantly low” range associated with more severe flood events.
• Historical Category 4 and 5 events involved tides topping 20+ feet and notably lower pressures.
• NOAA’s likelihood assessment remains at 0%, indicating no official flood watches.
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.
