Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. High tides will reach around 18.9 ft, and while the barometric pressure dips near 998–1002 hPa, NOAA’s model indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, suggesting no flood impacts are expected in low-lying coastal areas.
WHEN
Highest tide is expected near mid-afternoon (around 16:00–16:30 local time).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations will occur without significant coastal inundation.
Comparisons with historical data show past Category 3 or higher events typically involved tides exceeding 20 ft or significantly lower pressure (near or below 992.8 hPa). Although the pressure here is on the lower side (around 998–1002 hPa), tides remain below 20 ft and NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood indicates minimal concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Peak tide near 19.1–19.2 ft, with barometric pressure around 998.6 hPa. Again, NOAA’s flood likelihood stands at 0.0%, confirming limited potential for coastal flooding.
WHEN
Greatest tidal height is expected mid- to late-afternoon (approximately 16:30–16:45 local time).
IMPACTS
Minor tidal fluctuations along the shoreline. No notable flooding of coastal infrastructure or roads anticipated.
In historical Category 3–4 events, either tides were higher than 20 ft or barometric pressure dropped well below 1000 hPa. Despite somewhat low pressure, the tide height here does not surpass the 20 ft benchmark associated with more serious concerns; NOAA’s data also remains at a low likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides likely to peak just under 19.5 ft in the late afternoon. Barometric pressure near 999 hPa cannot overcome NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood forecast.
WHEN
Main tidal peak is mid- to late-afternoon (roughly 16:45–17:00 local time).
IMPACTS
Routine tidal changes expected. No coastal flooding or inundation is anticipated, and no disruption to businesses or traffic is likely.
Even though tide heights approach 19.4+ ft, they fall below thresholds seen in previous Category 3 or 4 flood events. The continued low NOAA flood likelihood supports a conclusion of no imminent flooding concerns.
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.
