Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While the afternoon tide near 15:00 PDT is forecast to reach around 18 ft (17.99 ft) with a barometric pressure of about 1006.3 hPa, these conditions remain below thresholds historically associated with coastal flooding. NOAA’s official flood likelihood for this date is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide around 15:00 PDT on 2025-09-02.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Low-lying coastal areas and roads should remain unaffected.
Today’s maximum tide height is somewhat elevated but does not approach the 21+ ft levels usually tied to more serious flood events. The barometric pressure is not low enough to exacerbate tidal effects. Historically, tides in the 17–18 ft range have sometimes warranted closer monitoring; however, NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood strongly supports a no-risk scenario, aligning this day with Category 2 (no risk of flooding).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide near 15:30 PDT is around 17.6 ft with a barometric pressure of roughly 1008.9 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Peak tide around 15:30 PDT on 2025-09-03.
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding impacts. Conditions should stay well within normal ranges for this region.
While this tide is also on the higher side compared to average levels, it does not approach the higher thresholds observed in past flood-prone events. Furthermore, the relatively moderate barometric pressure and NOAA’s continued low (0%) flood likelihood indicate minimal concern for the day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding anticipated. The peak tide forecast near 15:54 PDT may reach around 18.7 ft (18.67 ft) with a barometric pressure near 1005.1 hPa, still below typical flood thresholds. NOAA forecasts only a 0% flood likelihood for this date as well.
WHEN
Highest tide around 15:54 PDT on 2025-09-04.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding impacts to low-lying or coastal zones.
Despite being the highest tide of the three-day period, it remains beneath the 20–21+ ft range often correlated with moderate to high flood risk in historical data. With no unusual drop in barometric pressure, the prospect of notable coastal flooding remains very low, thereby placing this day in Category 2.
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.
