Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Although one of the primary high tides may approach 19 ft, barometric pressure around 1001 hPa is not sufficiently low to raise concerns, and NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides occur near 8:30 AM and 8:48 PM local time, but are not expected to cause any flooding issues.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated. Low-lying coastal areas should remain unaffected by tidal inundation.
Historically, floods in this region required both higher tide levels (often over 20 ft) and notably low barometric pressure (at or below 992.8 hPa). These conditions are not met on July 30. Furthermore, NOAA indicates a minimal likelihood of flooding for the day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding is expected. Projected high tide peaks (approximately 18–19 ft) coincide with a barometric pressure near 1001.8 hPa, which remains too high to escalate into a flood scenario. NOAA’s assessment continues to show 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Primary high tides around 9:42 AM and 9:18 PM local time are the focus, yet both are predicted to remain below thresholds of concern.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts or property damage. Normal daily activities should not be affected by tidal conditions.
Comparison with past Category 3 or higher events in Redondo Beach shows that more extreme tide heights and significantly lower pressures drove prior flood concerns. With stable pressures and NOAA’s low flood likelihood, the risk level remains minimal for July 31.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No tidal flooding is expected. The highest tide forecast is around 18+ ft, with barometric pressure near 999.8 hPa—still above critical low-pressure benchmarks historically associated with coastal flooding. NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Morning high tide around 11:24 AM and evening high tide near 9:54 PM–9:54 PM+ local times are not predicted to exceed nuisance thresholds.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts to infrastructure or roadways. Low-lying areas should remain clear of floodwaters.
Although pressure is slightly lower than the previous two days, it is still not low enough to combine with the moderate tide heights to create a notable flood risk. Past events that reached Category 3 or higher typically involved tides over 20 ft and/or barometric pressures near or below 992.8 hPa, conditions not present on August 1.
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.
