Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will reach a peak near 18.1 ft around late evening, but the barometric pressure of approximately 1000 hPa is not low enough to indicate a flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide around 9:30 PM – 10:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. There may be very minor water encroachment onto typically dry shoreline areas, but no property damage or flooding concerns are expected.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for this date is 0%, well below threshold. Historical comparison shows that similar tide heights with higher barometric pressures or 0% NOAA flood likelihood have not resulted in flooding. Consequently, conditions do not align with past Category 3 or higher events, which involved significantly lower barometric pressures and/or higher tide levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although barometric pressure may briefly dip near 999–998 hPa, the forecast peak tide height of roughly 17.7 ft remains below levels historically associated with flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs late in the evening around 10:30 PM – 11:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. Low-lying areas along the immediate shoreline may see minimal water reach, but no damage is anticipated.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0%. Previous Category 3 or higher floods combined substantially higher tides (often above 20 ft) with more significant drops in pressure. Current conditions do not match such scenarios.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk. Tides may reach near 17.3 ft late at night. Barometric pressure around 999–1000 hPa is not low enough to raise concern.
WHEN
Highest tide near midnight (11:30 PM – 12:00 AM local time).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding in shoreline or low-lying areas.
Despite moderate tidal heights, NOAA assigns a 0% flood likelihood. Historical data indicates no flood events have occurred under similar mid-range tide heights paired with barometric pressures above extreme lows (e.g., ~992 hPa or below).
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.
