Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Projected high tide (approximately 19.93 ft) remains below the 21 ft threshold typically associated with flooding in this area, and barometric pressure (around 1007 hPa) is not critically low.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 7:18 AM (about 17.50 ft) and 7:42 PM (about 19.93 ft).
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations will occur with no significant impact to property or roadways.
• Historical comparison shows that far more severe conditions (tide above 21 ft combined with notably low barometric pressure < 993 hPa) are needed for flooding in Redondo Beach.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-08-13 is 0.0%, reinforcing that conditions do not align with past flood events (e.g., 12/27/2022 Category 5 event).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. The highest tide (near 19.75 ft) is again below the 21 ft benchmark, and pressure remains moderate (around 1009 hPa), further reducing the chance of flooding.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 8:24 AM (about 17.12 ft) and 8:18 PM (about 19.75 ft).
IMPACTS
No known flooding impacts. Tidal levels will remain safe for coastal areas and infrastructure.
• Winds forecast to be generally southerly without significant onshore push.
• Compared to historical Category 4–5 floods, current tide heights are several feet below critical levels and barometric pressure is not notably low.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%, consistent with no risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. While a high tide around 19.40 ft is substantial, it still remains below the 21 ft threshold commonly associated with inundation events in this region. Barometric pressure (about 1004–1005 hPa) is not unusually low.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 9:42 AM (about 16.84 ft) and 8:54 PM (about 19.40 ft).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Coastal roads, parks, and low-lying areas will remain unaffected by tidal waters.
• Historically, events with tide heights over 21 ft and low barometric pressures (< 993 hPa) posed higher risk. These conditions are not expected on 08/15.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is again reported at 0.0%.
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.
