Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. While the evening high tide will reach around 19 feet, the barometric pressure (around 1002 hPa at peak tide) is not sufficiently low to pair with the tide height for flood concerns.
WHEN
Highest tide near 8:30 PM to 9:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are expected. Normal marine conditions anticipated along the coastline.
• Historical Comparison: Unlike Category 3+ events that have seen tides over 20 feet combined with much lower pressures (< 993 hPa), today’s conditions do not align with those higher-risk scenarios.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood is recorded at 0.0% for 2025-07-30.
• Winds remain light and from northerly directions, providing minimal onshore push or wave action.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is indicated. Although there will be a high tide nearing 19 feet again, moderate barometric pressure (~999-1001 hPa) mitigates any significant flood threat.
WHEN
Highest tide in the late morning (around 9:42 AM) and again near 9:00 PM.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding issues forecast. Typical tidal variation for the region.
• Barometric pressure remains well above historically critical thresholds for flooding.
• NOAA flood likelihood prediction for 2025-07-31 also remains at 0.0%.
• Light winds do not suggest any significant storm surge effect.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tides approach 19 feet again, pressure forecasts (about 1000 hPa) do not indicate the low-pressure conditions normally required for higher flood categories.
WHEN
Mid-day high tide near 11:24 AM and another in the late evening around 9:54 PM.
IMPACTS
No observed or predicted inundation. Usual beach and shoreline activities should remain unaffected.
• Tides under about 21 feet typically have not caused coastal flooding in Redondo Beach without exceptionally low pressure.
• NOAA’s daily flood likelihood remains at 0.0% for 2025-08-01.
• Compared to the severe (Category 5) event of 12/27/2022 (22+ ft tide and very low pressure), these tides and pressures are far less conducive to flooding.
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; 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.
