Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach moderate levels (around 17–18 ft), but barometric pressure remains well above the critical low threshold, and NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
The highest tide on August 29 will occur near 09:18 AM and again around 08:00–08:30 PM, but neither is expected to pose a flood threat.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts. Minor increases in water level along the shoreline, but no inundation of roads or property is anticipated.
• Barometric pressures of approximately 1008–1012 hPa remain higher than the historically low 992.8 hPa threshold associated with severe events.
• Tides peak below 20 ft, notably less than previous Category 3–5 events.
• NOAA indicates flood likelihood of 0.0%, further confirming no near-term flooding risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on August 30. Tides remain in a moderate range (roughly mid- to upper-16 ft), and barometric pressure is again well above the critical low threshold.
WHEN
Highest tides are projected near 01:54 AM and 08:30–09:00 PM. Neither coincides with weather conditions that would significantly elevate flood potential.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding impacts to coastal infrastructure or nearby roads.
• The barometric pressure (1009–1011 hPa) is moderately high, reducing the chance of significant coastal storm surge.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• Wind speeds are low; no strong onshore flow is present to push additional water inland.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. While barometric pressure is slightly lower (around 1003–1006 hPa) than on previous days, it is still well above the historical low-pressure readings that contributed to more serious flood events.
WHEN
The main high tides occur around 02:42 AM and near midday (12:36 PM). Projected tide heights remain below 17 ft, insufficient for coastal flooding under current conditions.
IMPACTS
No known impacts to local roads, beaches, or properties.
• Despite barometric pressure dropping closer to 1003 hPa, it remains significantly higher than the ~992 hPa levels often seen in past Category 4+ events.
• NOAA continues to forecast a 0.0% flood likelihood.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., Category 3–5 events) involved tides generally exceeding 19–20 ft and/or much lower pressures, neither of which is present.
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.
