Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on 2025-08-24. While the afternoon high tides may approach approximately 19.3 ft, the barometric pressure (around 1012–1013 hPa) remains relatively high, which reduces the potential for flood conditions. NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast is at 0%, further indicating minimal flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide expected around 4:48 AM and again near 6:06 PM, though neither is projected to cause flooding.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Low-lying coastal areas and shorelines should experience normal tidal conditions without inundation or property damage.
Comparing these tide levels (~19 ft) along with the higher barometric pressure to past Category 3 or higher events (which typically featured lower barometric pressure and tides well above 20 ft), the risk of flooding is deemed negligible. NOAA also indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated for 2025-08-25. Peak tide levels may near 19.2 ft late afternoon/early evening, but the pressure (about 1010–1012 hPa) remains significantly above the critical low thresholds observed in historical flood events. NOAA maintains a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
High tides around 5:36 AM and 6:24 PM are not expected to produce any flood conditions.
IMPACTS
Minimal to no impacts. Typical tidal variations are forecast, with no flooding or damage to property in coastal neighborhoods.
Historical Category 3 or 4 events often involved lower pressures (< 1006 hPa) and higher maximum tides (> 20 ft). Given today’s moderate tide heights and relatively stable pressure, conditions resemble a lower-scale event and do not pose a flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is predicted for 2025-08-26. Despite tides reaching around 19.0 ft in the evening, the barometric pressure remains above 1010 hPa, and NOAA’s forecast again shows 0% chance of tidal flooding.
WHEN
High tide peaks in the early morning (around 6:24 AM) and again near 6:48 PM, neither period is expected to result in any flood impacts.
IMPACTS
No impactful flooding or property damage. Usual tidal fluctuation will likely be observed without risk to coastal roads or infrastructure.
This assessment reflects stable meteorological conditions, moderate wind speeds, and no notable storm systems. Compared to historical flood events in Redondo Beach (such as 12/27/2022, Category 5, or 01/06/2025, Category 3), current and forecast barometric pressures are significantly higher, and overall tidal levels do not surpass critical flood benchmarks.
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.
