Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-08-04

CATEGORY 3

WHAT
Elevated tides forecast to peak near 18.0 ft in the afternoon. While conditions are close to a flood event, no significant property damage is expected.

WHEN
Highest tide near 15:48 local time.

IMPACTS
Minor flooding in the most vulnerable low-lying areas is possible, but widespread property impacts are unlikely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2025-08-04 around 15:48, tides may reach approximately 18.0 ft with a barometric pressure near 1002.74 hPa. Although the pressure is somewhat lower compared to calmer conditions, this still remains higher than the historically low pressures associated with more severe floods. NOAA’s latest forecast indicates a low (0%) flood likelihood. Historically, events in the 17–18 ft range at around 1002–1006 hPa have been categorized as Category 3, suggesting very limited impacts.


Day 2: 2025-08-05

CATEGORY 3

WHAT
High tide up to about 18.5 ft in the late afternoon. Conditions remain below thresholds typically associated with more serious flood risks.

WHEN
Peak tide near 16:24 local time.

IMPACTS
Possible standing water in very low-lying spots. Significant property damage is not expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2025-08-05, data shows the tide may peak near 18.51 ft with barometric pressure around 1002.36 hPa. Although somewhat elevated, it remains under historical Category 4/5 levels, which typically exceed 19–20+ ft with substantially lower pressure. NOAA’s forecast again indicates 0% flood likelihood, supporting the Category 3 assessment.


Day 3: 2025-08-06

CATEGORY 3

WHAT
High tide forecast around 18.8 ft in the mid-to-late afternoon. Low barometric pressure near 1000.45 hPa warrants attention, but remains above critical low-pressure thresholds for major flooding.

WHEN
Highest tide near 16:48 local time.

IMPACTS
Minor tidal overflow could affect roads closest to the water, but extensive property damage is unlikely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2025-08-06, peak tide may approach 18.83 ft with a barometric pressure near 1000.45 hPa. Although this is lower than on previous days, it is not in the critical <992.8 hPa range seen historically with significant flooding. NOAA’s flood outlook remains at 0%, indicating limited risk.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
