Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. High tide will reach approximately 18.9 feet by mid-afternoon, but barometric pressure near 1001 hPa is not sufficiently low to increase flood risk. NOAA’s forecast indicates 0% likelihood of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide is forecast around 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts to low-lying areas are anticipated, and no inundation is expected.
Compared to historical flooding events in Redondo Beach, this forecast tide height is lower than the 20+ foot levels typically associated with moderate or higher flood risk, and the prevailing atmospheric pressure is not unusually low. NOAA’s flood likelihood analysis also indicates no risk of flooding for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. High tide is projected to crest around 19.2 feet, with a barometric pressure of about 998.5 hPa. Despite somewhat lower pressure readings, NOAA’s forecast still shows a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide levels likely between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts are anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
Although pressure is slightly below average, the tide height remains below the 20-foot-plus threshold commonly seen in historical moderate flood events. Winds remain moderate and primarily from the south-southwest, suggesting limited storm surge influence. Overall conditions do not meet or exceed historical flood-trigger benchmarks.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The maximum tide height near 19.4 feet is below levels normally associated with coastal flooding, and the barometric pressure of about 998.8 hPa is not alarmingly low. NOAA maintains a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tidal influence is expected from about 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No impacts from flooding are anticipated for beaches or adjacent areas.
While the tide is slightly higher than Days 1 and 2, it remains below the historical 20+ foot events associated with moderate or higher flood categories. The winds, pressure trend, and 0% flood likelihood from NOAA all indicate minimal concern for coastal inundation.
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.
