Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although the evening high tide will approach 19.8 ft around 19:00, barometric pressure remains well above critical low thresholds (near 1006.7 hPa), and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tide occurs in the early evening around 19:00 local time.
IMPACTS
No impacts anticipated. Conditions will remain below historic flood thresholds, and low wind speeds further reduce flood potential.
Comparing with historical data, the tide is lower than past Category 3 or 4 events, and barometric pressure is not sufficiently low to raise concerns. NOAA’s own forecast suggests negligible likelihood of coastal flooding on this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on Day 2. Although a high tide of nearly 19.7 ft is forecast for the evening (around 19:24), the barometric pressure near 1004.0 hPa and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood indicate minimal risk.
WHEN
Peak tide around 19:24 local time.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding or inundation concerns. Low wind speeds and moderate barometric pressure levels further lower the likelihood of water reaching flood thresholds.
Historical events of Category 3 or higher typically involve either clearly lower barometric pressure or higher tides (often exceeding 20 ft), often combined with more significant storm conditions. These are absent on the 27th, mirrored by NOAA’s continued low flood risk rating.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial risk of coastal flooding is expected. Despite barometric pressure dropping to around 997.8 hPa, the evening high tide near 19.6 ft (at 19:54) is below thresholds typically associated with historical flooding, and NOAA’s official outlook remains at 0% likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide just before 20:00 local time.
IMPACTS
No immediate flooding concerns. Minor wave action may be noticeable, but flooding of low-lying roadways or property is not anticipated.
Although the pressure is lower than on previous days, without a tide height near or above 21 ft, the combined factors remain below historical flood-event criteria. Winds are also not forecast to be strong or persistently from a direction that would push significant extra water onshore.
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.
