Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will reach moderately high levels through late afternoon; however, based on current conditions and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood, all data indicates no notable flood risk.
WHEN
The highest tides occur during the early morning (around 4:30 AM) and mid-morning (around 9:00 AM), with barometric pressure above 1002 hPa.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected in coastal or low-lying areas.
• The barometric pressure is around 1002–1003 hPa, which is significantly above the critical low-pressure threshold (roughly 992.8 hPa) associated with higher flood risk in past events.
• Although tides may peak near or slightly above 19 feet later in the day, NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0%. These factors, in comparison to historical flooding events (which typically involve lower barometric pressure and higher tidal peaks above 20 feet), suggest no flooding risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Moderately high tides are expected again, but with stable barometric pressures (near 1005 hPa) and a 0% flood likelihood from NOAA, flooding is not anticipated.
WHEN
The highest observed tides are around early morning (just after 5:00 AM) and late afternoon/evening (near 6:00–7:00 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts on roads or property are expected.
• The barometric pressure remains well above the historically critical range, significantly reducing the risk of coastal flooding.
• Winds are generally light and do not align from the strong onshore directions that have contributed to past flood events.
• Historical Category 3–4 floods featured tides over 20 feet with much lower barometric pressure or higher NOAA flood likelihoods, none of which apply here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Although tides near the evening could briefly approach 19–20 feet, barometric pressure around 1005 hPa and NOAA’s 0% flood outlook confirm no flood threat.
WHEN
Peak tide levels are expected mid-evening (around 7:00–8:00 PM).
IMPACTS
No known impacts to infrastructure or local roadways are expected.
• Even with the highest tides of the three-day window, these remain below critical thresholds observed in past flood events.
• Compared to historical Category 3+ events, the barometric pressure is relatively high, and NOAA’s official likelihood analysis indicates no anticipated flooding.
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.
