Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is anticipated. The highest tide is forecast to reach around 18.8 ft in the late afternoon, which is below historical flood-triggering levels. Barometric pressure (around 1006 hPa) remains well above the low-pressure thresholds typically associated with flooding.
WHEN
Minor heightened water levels near high tide, approximately 06:18 AM and 04:48 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• No immediate flood concerns.
• Low-lying roads and shorelines are expected to remain unaffected.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-08-06 is rated Low (0.0%), with a tide-to-flood-threshold distance of roughly -2.33 m.
• Winds are from the SSE and are not expected to exacerbate water levels.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or higher events—which featured tides above 20 ft combined with significantly lower barometric pressures—today’s conditions do not align with a flood risk scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding is anticipated even though tides may approach 19.0 ft later in the day. The barometric pressure (near 1006-1007 hPa) remains relatively moderate, above the critical low-pressure benchmark.
WHEN
The highest tides occur around 02:12 AM and 05:00 PM to 05:30 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Little to no impact on coastal infrastructure.
• No significant inundation issues for beaches or nearshore areas.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-08-07 remains Low (0.0%), distance to threshold approximately -2.12 m.
• Historical Category 3 events involved higher tide levels and/or more pronounced barometric lows, unlike day 2’s moderate conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides may reach around 19.2 ft in the late afternoon with a somewhat lowered barometric pressure (about 1000.5 hPa), but still above historically significant flood-trigger thresholds. NOAA continues to project a low flood likelihood.
WHEN
Most pronounced tidal heights occur near midday (around 12:30 PM) and again late afternoon/early evening (around 05:30 PM to 06:00 PM local time).
IMPACTS
• Minimal threat of coastal flooding.
• No expected road closures or property inundation.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains Low (0.0%), with distance to thresholds still near -1.97 m.
• Wind speeds are not forecast to be sufficiently high or from a direction (e.g., strong W/NW) that would compound tidal effects.
• Although the barometric pressure is lower compared to the previous days, it is not dropping toward the ~992 hPa range historically tied to damaging floods.
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.
