Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. High tide will near 18.4 ft in the mid-afternoon, and barometric pressure readings will remain well above low-pressure thresholds historically linked to severe events. NOAA’s likelihood for flooding is listed as 0%.
WHEN
Primary high tide occurs around 15:30 local time, but no significant impacts are anticipated at any point in the day.
IMPACTS
• No notable impacts to low-lying areas or infrastructure.
• Coastal walkways and parks should remain unaffected by surging tides.
Barometric pressure for this period is approximately 1008.97 hPa at peak tide, which is substantially higher than historically low-pressure events that have led to flooding. Tide heights are also below the 20–21 ft range more commonly associated with moderate flood risks (Category 4 or 5). NOAA’s data further supports minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The day’s highest tide reaches about 18.7 ft, coupled with moderate atmospheric pressure around 1006.78 hPa. NOAA’s forecast continues to indicate a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak conditions will occur near mid-afternoon (15:54 local time), but no hazardous flooding is anticipated during or around this period.
IMPACTS
• Shoreline areas should remain stable with no anticipated road closures.
• Recreational activities along the shorelines are unlikely to be disrupted.
This tide level remains below historical thresholds correlated with coastal flooding (often above 20 ft). Additionally, the barometric pressure is not close to the lower levels (near or below 992.8 hPa) that typically exacerbate tidal flooding in this region.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the barometric pressure will drop somewhat (around 999.2 hPa at peak tide), the tide height is forecast to reach approximately 18.9 ft—still below the levels that have historically caused flood incidents. NOAA’s official outlook remains at 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide is anticipated around 16:18 local time, but conditions are forecast to remain benign throughout the day.
IMPACTS
• Minimal stress on coastal infrastructure.
• No significant erosion or inundation concerns in low-lying zones.
A barometric pressure of 999.2 hPa is lower than on previous days, but it is still well above the critical pressures (near or below 992.8 hPa) associated with past flooding events. In addition, the tide height does not approach the 20+ ft levels common to Category 4 or 5 flood events noted in the historical record.
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.
