Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide (around 18.8–19.0 ft) will occur near 16:48 local time, but barometric pressure remains well above the critical low-pressure thresholds (around 1005.98 hPa), and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is listed at 0%.
WHEN
Peak tide conditions are expected mid-afternoon, around 16:00–17:00 local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated in coastal lowlands. No disruptions to travel or property due to coastal tidal influence.
Historically, Category 3 or higher events in this region have involved tides exceeding 21 ft and/or significantly lower barometric pressures (well under 992 hPa). Today’s tide remains below 21 ft, barometric pressure is moderate, and NOAA indicates a very low chance of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected despite a similar high tide level reaching around 19.0 ft near 17:12 local time. The pressure (about 1005.81 hPa) remains well above historically dangerous levels, and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Look for the highest tide in the late afternoon to early evening, roughly 16:00–18:00 local time.
IMPACTS
Minimal coastal impacts are anticipated. No significant flooding or property damage concerns.
Compared to past Category 3–5 flood events, these conditions remain far below the known flood thresholds. The NOAA data, combined with moderate pressures and no strong onshore wind, supports a low flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While the tide could reach ~19.2 ft around 17:36 local time and the barometric pressure is somewhat lower (near 1000.57 hPa), it is still not low enough—and the tide not high enough—for coastal flooding concerns. NOAA continues to indicate a 0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
Peak water levels will occur mid-to-late afternoon, ~16:30–17:45 local time.
IMPACTS
No notable coastal inundation or wind-driven tidal impacts expected.
Historically, more serious events required tides above 21 ft combined with significantly lower pressures or strong onshore winds. These factors are not present in current forecasts, keeping flood potential in the “no risk” range.
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.
