Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-08-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide heights will be relatively high (peaking around 19.4 ft), but barometric pressure near 1005 hPa is not low enough to raise flood concerns. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is at 0%.

WHEN
The highest tide will occur around the late afternoon to early evening hours on 2025-08-09 (about 18:00).

IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Coastal areas and roads near the shoreline should remain unaffected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric pressure remains well above the historically low thresholds associated with severe events.
• Tide levels around 19 ft, while notable, are below the 20–21 ft range more commonly associated with moderate or severe flooding in past events.
• NOAA’s analysis indicates a 0% likelihood of flooding.


Day 2: 2025-08-10

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide (near 19.6 ft) coincides with a barometric pressure around 1003–1005 hPa, remaining high enough to limit flood potential.

WHEN
Peak tide anticipated in the evening on 2025-08-10 (approximately 18:24).

IMPACTS
No major impacts to coastal roads or low-lying areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Tides approach but do not exceed 20 ft.
• Historic data shows more significant coastal flooding usually occurs with lower barometric pressure (around or below 992.8 hPa), which is not forecast here.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood data remains at 0%.


Day 3: 2025-08-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected despite higher tide heights around 19.8 ft. Barometric pressure is above 1004 hPa, further reducing the risk of coastal inundation.

WHEN
Late afternoon into early evening on 2025-08-11 (approximately 18:48) for the highest tide.

IMPACTS
Minimal, if any, impacts are expected along the coastline and adjacent areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Even though the observed tide heights reach the upper 19 ft range, the relatively high pressure and NOAA’s continued 0% flood likelihood indicate conditions are not conducive to flooding.
• Winds are generally from the N/NE, which historically exerts less push of water onto shore than strong W/NW winds.


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.
