Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of coastal flooding. Although the tide will peak around 18.1 ft in late evening, barometric pressure (near 1000.2 hPa) is not sufficiently low to raise flood concerns, and NOAA’s forecast shows a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN Peak tide expected around 9:54 PM to 10:00 PM.
IMPACTS No inundation issues anticipated. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected, with minimal wave run-up along beaches and no significant coastal road impacts.
• Tides below 20 ft and barometric pressure above historically low flood thresholds indicate limited flood potential.
• Historically, Category 3 and above events in Redondo Beach were associated with either 20+ ft tides or notably lower pressure (<1000 hPa), often in the 992–998 hPa range coupled with NOAA flood likelihood >0%.
• NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood strongly reinforces the low-risk outlook.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Tide heights are expected to remain below typical flood-inducing levels (peaking near 17.6 ft to 18.0 ft), while barometric pressure (lowest ~997.5 hPa around 4:00 AM) is still not within the critical low range (<992.8 hPa).
WHEN
Peak late-evening tide near 10:30 PM–11:30 PM.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding of coastlines, beaches, or infrastructure. Little to no disruption to normal activities in shore-adjacent areas.
• Although pressure briefly dips below 1000 hPa, it remains well above the historical threshold needed to compound high tides into flooding.
• NOAA forecasts continue to show a 0.0% flood likelihood, which aligns with expected minimal water level impacts.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. The highest tide, around 17–17.3 ft, coincides with barometric pressure near 1000.6 hPa—both well outside typical flood-trigger ranges.
WHEN
Highest tide approximately 11:30 PM.
IMPACTS
No inundation or road closures are anticipated. Conditions remain stable for coastal activities.
• Compared with historical moderate flood events (Category 3+) where tides often exceeded 18–20 ft with significantly lower pressure, Day 3 conditions do not align with a flooding scenario.
• NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood corroborates the expectation of benign coastal impacts.
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.
