Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected at this time. The highest tides for the day (peaking around 17.3 ft) are below historical flooding thresholds, and barometric pressure remains well above the critical low-pressure benchmark.
WHEN
Primary high-tide concern around 01:54 AM and 08:00-09:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas, roads, and shorelines should remain unaffected by tidal waters.
• Barometric Pressure: Forecast readings near 1007–1009 hPa (far from the 992.8 hPa threshold historically linked with more serious events).
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood: 0.0% indicates no expected tidal flooding.
• Comparison to Historical Data: Category 3+ floods have typically involved tides higher than 19–20 ft or significantly lower atmospheric pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding. Although tides will reach around 16.9–17.0 ft midday, these levels remain below past flood categories, and the barometric pressure is not critically low.
WHEN
Primary high tides occur around 02:42 AM and near midday (11:30 AM–12:36 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are currently anticipated.
• Barometric Pressure: Forecast near 1004–1006 hPa, still above concerning levels.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood: 0.0% for 2025-08-31.
• Wind and Weather Conditions: Winds remain relatively light (under 10 mph) from the N/NNW, which does not significantly raise tidal risks.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected despite a slightly lower barometric pressure reading (near 1002 hPa). Peak tide values (approximately 17.4 ft) remain below historical flooding benchmarks.
WHEN
Elevated tide near mid-afternoon (around 01:00–02:00 PM) and another high tide in late evening (around 10:00–11:00 PM).
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts anticipated.
• Barometric Pressure: Although 1002 hPa is lower, it is still not near the historically significant flood pressures (~992.8 hPa).
• NOAA Guidance: Flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• Historical Comparison: Category 4 or 5 levels typically involve tides over 19 ft, combined with lower pressures or strong onshore winds. Neither condition applies here.
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.
