Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Although the tide will reach roughly 19.4 ft, the barometric pressure remains above the critical low threshold, and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide near 8:54 PM through 9:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected along the shoreline or in low-lying areas; normal coastal conditions should persist.
• The maximum tide of approximately 19.4 ft is below the 21 ft flood-risk benchmark seen in past events.
• Barometric pressure around 1008.7 hPa is not sufficiently low to bring about flooding concerns.
• NOAA’s forecast shows a minimal flood likelihood (0.0%).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tide heights will peak near 18.9 ft, and barometric pressure remains relatively stable, with no indication of significant weather systems.
WHEN
Peak tide near or just after 9:30 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No impacts to inland areas or coastal roads; conditions remain calm.
• Tide levels continue to fall short of known flood thresholds.
• Barometric pressure near 1015.7 hPa is well above critical levels.
• NOAA again forecasts a 0.0% likelihood of flooding, corroborating the low-risk assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tide heights up to about 18.4 ft are expected, still below levels typically associated with even minor coastal flooding.
WHEN
Late evening peak near 10:30 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No flooding or inundation of low-lying roads and parks; conditions remain normal for the region.
• The highest tide (about 18.4 ft) is significantly under the 21 ft benchmark tied to coastal flood events.
• Barometric pressures around 1012–1014 hPa and calm onshore winds align with the negligible NOAA flood likelihood (0.0%).
• Historical Category 3–5 floods generally involve tides exceeding 20 ft alongside markedly lower barometric pressures, which are absent here.
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.
