Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While tide levels will peak near 18.6 ft in the evening, this remains below historical flood thresholds. Barometric pressures around 999–1002 hPa are not low enough to indicate severe conditions.
WHEN
Peak tides around 09:42 AM and 09:18 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated in low-lying areas. Roads and infrastructure are expected to remain unaffected.
• Historically, significantly higher tide heights (above ~20–21 ft) combined with very low barometric pressures (~992.8 hPa or lower) have led to Category 4 or higher events; that is not the case here.
• NOAA’s likelihood forecast for 07/31 indicates a Low risk (0.0%), further supporting no flood conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides may approach 18.1 ft in the evening, but remain below critical levels. Barometric pressures around 1000–1001 hPa are moderate, reducing the potential for flood impacts.
WHEN
Highest tides around 11:24 AM and 09:54 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No overflow onto roads or into low-lying areas is anticipated. Local infrastructure should be unaffected.
• Compared to historical flood events (which exceeded 20 ft tides and involved lower barometric pressures), these conditions are relatively mild.
• NOAA’s 08/01 flood likelihood assessment is 0.0%, consistent with no apparent cause for coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Even though barometric pressure dips slightly below 1000 hPa (approximately 997.5 hPa at the late high tide), forecast tide heights remain under 18 ft—well below historical flooding benchmarks.
WHEN
Peak tides around 04:00 AM and 10:36-10:48 AM, with another high near 10:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
Coastal areas, roads, and properties are not expected to experience any flooding.
• NOAA data continues to indicate a 0.0% flood likelihood.
• Conditions are not comparable to Category 4 or 5 historical events, which generally involved significantly higher tides and much lower pressure readings.
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, but unlikely to cause damage.
• Category 4: Flooding is likely; uncertain if it 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.
