Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. Tidal heights will reach around 19.9 ft in the evening, but barometric pressure remains relatively high (about 1005–1007 hPa), and NOAA’s likelihood of flooding is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides around 06:18 AM and 07:12 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding concerns. Roads and low-lying areas are expected to remain clear of saltwater inundation.
• Compared to historically significant flood events (Category 4/5), the forecasted tide near 19.9 ft is still below the ~20.5+ ft range that typically led to moderate or severe flooding.
• Barometric pressure is not nearing critically low levels (<992 hPa).
• NOAA data explicitly indicates low (0%) flood likelihood.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No anticipated flood threat. Although tides will approach 19.9 ft again, prevailing pressure near 1003–1007 hPa is not low enough to amplify coastal flooding, and NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Peak tides around 07:18 AM and 07:42 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Minimal impact. Local roads, shoreline accesses, and neighborhoods near the water are unlikely to see any tidal flooding.
• Historically, Category 3 or higher events involved lower atmospheric pressure and/or tides surpassing 20 ft with an elevated NOAA flood likelihood; neither is present.
• No strong onshore wind from critical directions.
• NOAA forecasting continues to show no flood concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Still no flood risk indicated. Tides may top out near 19.7–19.8 ft, with pressure around 1004 hPa. NOAA-projected flood likelihood remains 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides around 08:24 AM and 08:18 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Coastal infrastructure and low-lying areas expected to remain unaffected.
• When viewed against previous mid-range flood events, these tides are lower than typical Category 3–4 thresholds, and the barometric pressure is not critically low.
• NOAA’s analysis shows a comfortable margin below the established flood threshold.
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.
