Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial coastal flooding is anticipated. Although the tide will peak near 19.0 ft, barometric pressure is not sufficiently low to cause flooding, and NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date remains at 0%.
WHEN
Peak tide around mid-afternoon (approximately 17:00 local time).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding is expected; normal conditions along shorelines and low-lying areas.
Analysis indicates a moderately high tide (approximately 19 ft) but barometric pressure readings near 1005–1006 hPa do not approach the historically low pressures (< 992 hPa) associated with past flood events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood underscores no imminent flood concerns for this day, consistent with Category 2 (no risk of flooding).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial coastal flooding is anticipated despite a high tide near 19 ft, because barometric pressure is still sufficiently above the critical threshold and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0%.
WHEN
Peak tidal heights early to mid-afternoon (around 17:30 local time).
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding is expected; typical conditions overall.
The barometric pressure around 1000 hPa is lower than Day 1 but remains well above the more critical 992 hPa mark seen in past flood events. Historical data for Category 3 or higher typically include substantially lower pressures or higher tide levels (over 20 ft), neither of which is present here. NOAA’s analysis similarly indicates minimal concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial coastal flooding is anticipated, even though the barometric pressure is slightly lower (near 998.8 hPa). Tides around 19.4 ft still remain below thresholds historically linked to flood events.
WHEN
Peak tidal period occurs late afternoon to early evening (around 18:00 local time).
IMPACTS
No significant flooding is forecast; low-lying areas expected to remain dry.
Although this day features the lowest pressure reading among the three-day period, it remains above historically critical levels. A tide under 20 ft and NOAA’s continued 0% flood likelihood both point toward minimal flood risk. Comparison with past Category 3–5 events shows that those typically corresponded to higher tides and/or much lower barometric pressures.
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.
