Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Tidal levels will approach around 19.8 ft, but the barometric pressure (near 1006 hPa) is not low enough to raise concern for coastal flooding.
WHEN
Greatest tidal heights in the early morning (around 04:42) and early evening (around 19:00).
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts are anticipated. Shorelines and low coastal areas will remain unaffected.
• NOAA’s forecasted flood likelihood for 2025-07-26 is 0.0%.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or higher events, the pressure here is higher and tides are slightly below the typical flooding thresholds (>20 ft).
• Winds remain relatively calm and do not pose additional onshore surge risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Although tides may reach about 19.7 ft, the barometric pressure remains above critical low thresholds (around 1003–1004 hPa).
WHEN
Higher tidal levels expected around 05:36 in the morning and 19:24 in the evening.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Roads and low-lying coastal areas should remain clear.
• NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-07-27.
• The barometric pressure is not sufficiently low to drive a flood event.
• Historically, Category 3+ floods involved significantly lower pressure or higher tides (>20 ft). These conditions are not met.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. The highest tide is near 19.6 ft, and while barometric pressure dips to around 998 hPa, it remains above the historically critical low (992.8 hPa) typically associated with more severe events.
WHEN
High tides focus around 06:30 in the morning and 19:54 in the evening.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts. Normal coastal conditions are likely without significant inundation or closures.
• NOAA flood likelihood for 2025-07-28 is still 0.0%.
• Although the pressure is lower than the previous two days, it is not low enough (below ~992 hPa) to raise concerns when combined with the observed tide height.
• Winds from the N/NW are moderate and have not historically resulted in flooding at these tide levels without lower pressures.
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.
