Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides may reach around 19.6 ft in the late afternoon into the evening, but barometric pressure near 1003 hPa remains relatively high, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is reported as 0%.
WHEN
Peak tide levels are anticipated from around mid-afternoon to early evening on 2025-08-10.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding impacts are expected at this time. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or higher events, today’s barometric pressure is higher (near or above 1002 hPa instead of below 992–1000 hPa), which lowers flooding potential.
• Tide heights are under 21 ft, further reducing the risk of coastal inundation.
• NOAA’s data also indicates 0% flood likelihood for this date, supporting a minimal flood threat assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides may approach 19.8 ft in the evening, but the barometric pressure (around 1005 hPa) remains high, and NOAA reports 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Higher tides likely occur in the early morning and again late in the afternoon through early evening on 2025-08-11.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding. Low-lying coastal areas should not experience inundation under these conditions.
• Although the tide height is moderately high, it does not reach the 21 ft threshold that has aligned with past flood events.
• Historically, similar or lower barometric pressures combined with higher tides (above ~21 ft) have been instrumental in driving Category 3–5 floods. None of those conditions are met here.
• NOAA’s low flood likelihood (0%) confirms very minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides approach nearly 20 ft in the late afternoon to evening. However, the barometric pressure remains around 1005 hPa, and NOAA reports 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak water levels should occur from the late afternoon into the early evening on 2025-08-12.
IMPACTS
No likely impacts, with no overland flooding expected in typically flood-prone areas.
• This day’s maximum tide (roughly 19.9 ft) is below most historical flooding thresholds.
• The high barometric pressure (well above 992.8 hPa) significantly lowers the potential for coastal flooding.
• Compared with Category 3 historical events, the absence of low pressure and the NOAA 0% flood likelihood limit any significant risk.
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.
