Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-08-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. High tides will reach around 19.46 ft in the late afternoon, but barometric pressure remains above significant low-pressure thresholds, and NOAA flood likelihood is 0%.

WHEN
Highest tide near 16:48 (4:48 PM) local time on August 21.

IMPACTS
No notable inundation or flood-related impacts anticipated for low-lying coastal spots, roads, or properties.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Maximum tide (~19.46 ft) is below the levels historically linked to flood events (typically 20 ft or higher).
• Barometric pressure near 1003 hPa, which is well above the low-pressure benchmarks (around or below 992.8 hPa) that typically indicate higher flood risk.
• NOAA CO-OPS projects a 0.0% flood likelihood for August 21.


Day 2: 2025-08-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. The tide will again approach ~19.48 ft in the late afternoon, but atmospheric conditions (pressure around 1003.7 hPa) remain stable and NOAA projects negligible flood probabilities.

WHEN
Highest tide near 17:18 (5:18 PM) local time on August 22.

IMPACTS
No disruptively high water levels are anticipated in coastal areas and no property impacts are expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Tides remain below historical thresholds known to cause even minor flooding.
• Barometric pressure is still significantly higher than the critical low-pressure levels observed during past flooding.
• NOAA continues to maintain a 0.0% flood likelihood for August 22.


Day 3: 2025-08-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Peak tide levels (~19.42 ft) persist, but pressure remains around 1003.45 hPa, with no indication of severe onshore winds to push water onto the shoreline.

WHEN
Highest tide near 17:42 (5:42 PM) local time on August 23.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts to roads or properties are anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Although tides are moderately high, they are still below the 20+ ft levels more often linked to minor coastal flooding in past events.
• Wind speeds remain light to moderate, and the barometric pressure is not low enough to raise concern.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains 0.0% for August 23.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
