Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will reach approximately 18.5 ft near mid-to-late afternoon, but the barometric pressure (around 1002 hPa) is not low enough to cause concern. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Primary high tide of interest occurs near 16:00–17:00 PST on August 5.
IMPACTS
No substantial impacts anticipated. Areas prone to minor ponding or nuisance water might see brief pooling, but widespread or damaging flooding is not expected.
• Tide levels are moderately high but well below the thresholds observed in past Category 3 and above flood events.
• Barometric pressure is above the historical low-pressure markers typically associated with severe coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s analysis indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, reinforcing no immediate flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will again peak in the 18–19 ft range, with barometric pressure near 1006 hPa. Conditions remain stable, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide is expected in mid-late afternoon on August 6, roughly between 16:00 and 17:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts foreseen. Low-lying areas may experience the usual minor water collection, but no damaging inundation is anticipated.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or higher events, tide heights are somewhat lower, and pressures are not in the critical low range.
• Winds are moderate, which does not suggest increased onshore push or further elevation of water levels.
• NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood supports maintaining a no-risk outlook.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tide heights may approach the 19 ft mark in the late afternoon, but pressures remain well above critical thresholds at roughly 1004–1005 hPa.
WHEN
Peak tide expected around 17:00–18:00 PST on August 7.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding concerns. Minor ponding along the immediate shoreline is possible, but there is no indication of broader coastal flooding.
• Even though the tide height is slightly higher than previous days, barometric pressure and wind conditions do not align with historic flooding patterns.
• NOAA again indicates 0.0% flood likelihood for the day.
• Historical comparison to Category 3+ events shows those generally had higher tides (often over 20 ft) and/or lower barometric pressures (below ~1000 hPa).
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.
