Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach moderately high levels near mid-afternoon, but barometric pressure remains well above historical low-pressure flood thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide forecast around 3:36 PM local time on 2025-08-19.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts anticipated. Shorelines and low-lying areas are not expected to be inundated.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2025-08-19 is 0.0%, indicating minimal concern.
• The highest tide (~18.9 ft) is below the ~21 ft benchmark often associated with more serious events.
• Barometric pressure (~1007.5 hPa) is higher than the low-pressure levels typically observed in notable coastal flood episodes.
• Historical Category 3–4 events usually involve lower pressures (<1002 hPa) combined with tides over 20 ft.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, based on current data, no risk of flooding is anticipated. Afternoon high tide is projected, but pressure remains relatively stable.
WHEN
Highest tide expected around 4:18 PM local time on 2025-08-20.
IMPACTS
No property damage or road closures are likely. Minimal coastal impacts are anticipated.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2025-08-20 is 0.0%.
• Peak tide (~19.3 ft) remains below the thresholds historically linked to flood conditions in Redondo Beach.
• Barometric pressure (~1011.6 hPa) is far from the storm-level lows (around or below 992 hPa).
• Winds appear modest and are not from a particularly concerning onshore direction based on the data provided.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A slightly higher afternoon tide is possible, but with barometric pressure still not close to the critical low (near 992.8 hPa), flooding is not expected.
WHEN
Peak tide around 4:48 PM local time on 2025-08-21.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of roads or coastal areas. Routine conditions along the shoreline are expected.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2025-08-21 is 0.0%.
• Although tide forecasts approach ~19.5 ft, they remain below destructive levels observed in more severe historical floods.
• Barometric pressure (~1004.3 hPa) is not low enough to amplify flood risk, and winds are not forecasted to push water onshore significantly.
• Comparisons to notable historical Category 3+ events (where NOAA indicated a measurable flood likelihood) underscore the lack of major risk factors 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.
