Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides are forecast to peak near 18.0 ft with barometric pressure readings above the critical low-pressure threshold seen in past flood events.
WHEN
No specific tidal period appears likely to result in flooding on this date; highest tides occur around mid-afternoon.
IMPACTS
No apparent flooding impacts anticipated. Shorelines and low-lying areas are expected to remain unaffected based on current tidal levels and relatively higher barometric pressure.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-08-04 is 0.0%, significantly below historical flood threshold levels.
• The highest tide (approximately 18.0 ft) is under the more critical 20–21 ft seen in past Category 3+ events.
• Barometric pressure near 1002.9 hPa is well above the historically low 992.8 hPa mark linked to higher flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected again, as tide levels remain moderately high (around 18.5 ft peak) but below flood-inducing thresholds.
WHEN
Tidal peaks occur in the late afternoon, but conditions do not meet flood criteria given relatively stable weather patterns and barometric pressure near 1002.0 hPa.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts are anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-08-05 is 0.0%, with a distanceto-threshold of -2.68.
• Historical Category 3 or higher events typically involved tides exceeding 20 ft combined with significantly lower barometric pressure.
• Winds are light to moderate and predominantly from a southerly direction, which is not generally conducive to pushing excess water onshore in this region.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected, despite slightly higher peak tides (near 18.8 ft). The barometric pressure remains above critical lows, keeping flood potential minimal.
WHEN
Highest tides occur during mid-to-late afternoon. No significant flood impacts are forecast at this time.
IMPACTS
Flooding impacts are unlikely. Shore roads and low-lying areas are expected to remain clear under current projections.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-08-06 is 0.0%, with distanceto-threshold of about -2.33.
• Although the barometric pressure dips closer to 1001 hPa, it is still not exceptionally low (below ~992.8 hPa) as in previous major flood events.
• Light to moderate SSE winds should not exacerbate tidal surges significantly.
Monitor later forecasts and be alert for any potential changes. Those living in areas prone to flooding should remain aware of weather updates and be prepared to take action should unexpected 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.
