Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No noticeable flood risk is expected. The highest tide (approx. 19.88 ft) remains under the 21 ft threshold typically associated with coastal flooding. Barometric pressure near 1003 hPa, while slightly lower than average, is still well above the critical low (around 992 hPa) seen in past flood events.
WHEN
Peak conditions near the evening high tide around 18:30.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated in low-lying coastal areas under these conditions.
• Compared to historical Category 3 and 4 events, today’s tide height and barometric pressure do not align closely with flooding scenarios (those events generally involved tides above 20 ft combined with very low pressure or significant wind).
• NOAA’s latest forecast indicates a 0% flood likelihood for 2025-07-25.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no notable flood conditions are expected. Although the tide may approach 19.82 ft near 19:00, barometric pressure is projected around 1006 hPa. Both values remain outside the ranges historically linked with flooding.
WHEN
The period of highest water levels occurs late in the afternoon and early evening.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated; low-lying roads and shoreline areas should remain unaffected.
• Previous flood events of Category 4 or higher involved higher tide levels (often over 20 ft) with notably lower atmospheric pressure, below about 1002 hPa, and often stronger winds.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0% for 2025-07-26.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Conditions remain stable and below flood-trigger thresholds. The peak tide approaches 19.72 ft around 19:24 with pressure near 1003 hPa, insufficient to produce coastal flooding according to historical comparisons.
WHEN
Highest tide levels in the early evening hours.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding impacts are expected.
• Historically, events categorized at 3 or above showed tide heights around or above 20 ft plus low barometric pressure or higher flood likelihood indices.
• NOAA’s forecast continues to show 0% likelihood of flooding for 2025-07-27.
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.
