Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-08-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on this day. Tides will be relatively high (peaking near 19.8 ft around 6:48 PM), but the barometric pressure remains well above critical low-pressure thresholds, and NOAA’s flood likelihood prediction is at 0%.

WHEN
Highest Tide around 6:48 PM (local time).

IMPACTS
No coastal flooding anticipated. Normal beach and shoreline activity should not be affected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric pressure near 1005 hPa is not close to the historically low pressures (below ~992 hPa) that have accompanied past flooding events.
• The NOAA forecast indicates 0% flood likelihood, and the distance to the flooding threshold is more than 1 meter below what NOAA defines as a concern.
• Wind speeds are moderate (generally under 15 mph), with no indication of the strong onshore winds that could exacerbate high tides.


Day 2: 2025-08-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. Tide levels near 19.9 ft in the evening (approximately 7:12 PM) remain below thresholds observed in previous flood events.

WHEN
Highest Tide around 7:12 PM (local time).

IMPACTS
No significant flood impacts. Normal coastal activities can proceed without concern for flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Pressure readings are slightly higher (approximately 1007–1005 hPa) and still well above the low-pressure levels that historically signaled flooding.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0%, consistent with the modest barometric pressure and tide forecasts.
• Winds remain relatively light and primarily from the north to northeast, providing no additional push of seawater towards shore.


Day 3: 2025-08-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is anticipated for the third consecutive day, despite a peak tide near 19.9 ft around 7:42 PM. Stable barometric pressure (~1004–1005 hPa) and NOAA’s zero-percent flood likelihood reinforce a low-risk outlook.

WHEN
Highest Tide around 7:42 PM (local time).

IMPACTS
Minimal to no impacts expected. Conditions will remain benign along coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Compared with historical floods (e.g., events exceeding 21 ft tide height and pressures well below 1000 hPa), these conditions do not align with higher-risk patterns.
• NOAA’s data again indicates 0% flood likelihood and a considerable margin below the flooding threshold.
• Light winds and only moderate onshore influence further reduce any potential coastal flood risk.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any updates. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action if, by chance, conditions unexpectedly change.

CATEGORY KEY

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.
