Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on this day. While high tides will reach approximately 18.3 ft by mid-afternoon, the barometric pressure (around 1008-1009 hPa) remains relatively moderate, and NOAA’s official flood likelihood stands at 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 15:30 local time; however, conditions do not meet thresholds indicative of coastal flooding.
IMPACTS
• No coastal inundation is anticipated.
• No significant impacts to roadways or property.
Historical comparisons (e.g., Category 3 events) typically involved either higher tides (above 19–20 ft) or confirmed flood indicators from NOAA. Here, although the tide is moderately elevated, the barometric pressure is not sufficiently low, and NOAA projects no flooding risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide heights will again be near 18.6 ft, but the barometric pressure remains above critical low thresholds (near 1006–1007 hPa), and NOAA’s forecast for flooding remains 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 15:54 local time; conditions still fall short of flood criteria.
IMPACTS
• No inundation of low-lying areas; roads, parks, and shorelines unaffected by flooding.
Although the tide is somewhat elevated, it does not exceed historically flood-prone levels (often >21 ft) nor coincide with significantly low barometric pressure. NOAA’s data confirms a low likelihood of any coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected, even though the barometric pressure dips lower (near 999 hPa). The highest tidal peak is around 18.9 ft, which is still below the 21 ft threshold historically associated with flooding in this area. NOAA continues to show a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide around 16:18 local time with below-threshold levels for flooding.
IMPACTS
• No flooding impacts to local infrastructure or property.
While the lower barometric pressure typically could raise concerns, historical data and NOAA’s forecast indicate that tides under 21 ft are unlikely to produce flooding. Therefore, no coastal flooding impacts are anticipated.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any unexpected weather changes. Those living in areas prone to flooding should remain prepared to take action if conditions worsen, although no flood impacts are currently expected.
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.
