Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will approach a peak of around 19.34 ft in the late afternoon. Barometric pressure is forecast around 1013 hPa, which is not low enough to significantly elevate flood concerns. NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest water levels on August 24 are expected around 4:48 AM and again near 6:06 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. This tide level could cause minimal ponding at the usual low-lying spots along the coastline, but there is no indication of hazardous or property-damaging flood conditions.
• Historical Category 3 floods in this region often featured lower barometric pressures (around or below 1006 hPa) and either higher tides (above 20 ft) or strong wind components.
• Current conditions are relatively calm, matching well with past data that has not resulted in flooding.
• NOAA’s distance to threshold is -1.81 m, confirming there is ample margin before reaching flood levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will again peak near 19.34 ft late in the day, with barometric pressures remaining around 1013 hPa and light winds. NOAA continues to show a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest water levels are expected near the early morning (about 5:36 AM) and again late afternoon/early evening (about 6:24 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected in coastal or low-lying areas. Observers might note slightly elevated water levels, but conditions do not suggest flooding potential.
• Although the tide level is moderately high, it remains below the levels historically associated with coastal flooding.
• Comparisons to Category 3 events show that those incidents typically had either lower pressure or a more significant tidal height (around or above 20 ft).
• Coupled with NOAA’s -2.02 m distance from flood stage, serious inundation remains unlikely.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Late afternoon high tide near 19.04–19.05 ft, with barometric pressure around 1010–1011 hPa. NOAA’s forecast indicates no appreciable risk (<1%) of tidal flooding.
WHEN
Closest watch times are around 6:24 AM and particularly at about 6:48 PM for the highest tides of the day.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated. Minor, very localized effects (if any) would be limited to shoreline areas directly adjacent to the water.
• Historical benchmarks for flooding (tides generally exceeding 20 ft or very low barometric pressure below ~1000 hPa) are not met.
• NOAA’s distance to the flood threshold is -2.13 m, which indicates no imminent concern.
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.
