Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-08-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. A high tide near 19.4 ft is forecast late afternoon/early evening, but barometric pressure around 1010 hPa and winds from the north at moderate speeds reduce the potential for flooding.

WHEN
Peak tide from approximately 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. No road closures or inundation are expected based on these conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, this day’s barometric pressure is not low enough to exacerbate conditions, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0%. Historical Category 3 events have often included both higher tidal levels (near or above 20 ft) and a more pronounced “flood” likelihood from NOAA. Current data aligns with a lower category.


Day 2: 2025-08-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Once again, no risk of flooding is expected. Tides could reach around 19.3 ft in the evening, but the pressure is forecast near 1012 hPa, which remains significantly above critical thresholds associated with flooding.

WHEN
Peak tide from about 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS
Areas along the coastline are unlikely to experience water inundation.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Although the tide runs fairly high, the moderate atmospheric pressure and low wind speeds reduce the risk. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0% for this date, consistent with no anticipated flooding problems.


Day 3: 2025-08-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides could approach 19.2 ft around early evening, but barometric pressure near 1010–1011 hPa and minimal wind influence keep conditions stable.

WHEN
Peak tide from roughly 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are expected along low-lying areas or roads.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

This day’s high tide is similar in height to previous days, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0%. Historical flood events typically correspond to lower pressures (below 1000 hPa) combined with higher tides (often above 20 ft).

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.
