Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding under the forecasted conditions. The highest tide (near 17.65 ft) stays well below the 21 ft key threshold, and barometric pressure around 1001.55 hPa is not sufficiently low to increase flood risk. NOAA’s likelihood of flooding remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide observing period around late evening (22:30–23:00 PDT).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected. Typical minor tidal fluctuations along beaches and estuaries.
• Barometric pressure, while slightly lower around 994.98 hPa in the early morning, pairs only with ~10 ft tide—far below historical flood levels.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis for 2025-08-02 shows a distance to flood threshold of over 3 meters.
• Historical flood events required both near- or below-992 hPa pressure and tides over 21 ft; current data do not meet those criteria.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding. Peak tides (~17.65 ft) remain well under the 21 ft flood benchmark, and barometric pressure of 1001–1005 hPa does not indicate severe storm conditions. NOAA rates flood likelihood for this date at 0.0%.
WHEN
Tides peak early morning (~04:30) and again late night (~23:30 PDT), neither near critical thresholds.
IMPACTS
No property or roadway flooding anticipated. Coastal areas may experience usual variations from normal tides.
• NOAA analysis for 2025-08-03 maintains a low flood likelihood with significant distance to the flood threshold.
• Historical category 3+ events typically displayed at least 20+ ft tides plus notably low barometric pressure (<992 hPa). These factors are absent here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flood impacts expected. Although tides approach ~18.0 ft, they remain below the 21 ft level cited in past flooding events. Barometric pressure around 1002.45 hPa is not low enough to raise concern. NOAA’s modeling continues to show minimal likelihood (0.0%).
WHEN
Key high tides occur mid-morning (around 09:00) and mid-afternoon (15:00–16:00 PDT), but neither approaches major flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
No significant inundation. Standard high-tide variations along beaches and nearshore areas are expected.
• Despite a slightly higher tide near 18.0 ft, conditions remain well shy of historical flood heights (over 21 ft with very low pressure).
• Comparisons to previous Category 4–5 events (e.g., 12/27/2022 at 22.297 ft, ~978 hPa) confirm this is not a flood-prone scenario.
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.
