Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
A high tide near 19.16 ft is forecast around mid-afternoon (approximately 16:36 local time). Barometric pressure is projected around 998.69 hPa, which is lower than a standard fair-weather pressure but not exceptionally low. NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast for this day is 0.0%. Overall, these conditions place the area close to a minor flood event worth monitoring; however, significant flooding or property damage is unlikely.
WHEN
• From mid-afternoon through the early evening hours of 09/06, near the time of high tide.
IMPACTS
• Minor coastal flooding in some low-lying areas, with possible ponding of water in shoreline parks or roads that are just above sea level. Widespread property damage is not anticipated.
• Historically, Category 3 events in Redondo Beach have had tide heights in the 17–20 ft range, sometimes with moderate to high barometric pressure.
• In this case, the tide is near 19 ft—somewhat high—but the pressure is not so low as to heighten the risk further.
• NOAA indicates a low likelihood of flooding (0.0%), reinforcing the expectation that any flooding will be minor.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
High tide is expected to reach just over 19.4 ft in the late afternoon (around 16:54 local time), with barometric pressure near 1002.26 hPa. NOAA’s daily flood likelihood remains at 0.0%. Although the tides are elevated, the moderately low but not extreme barometric pressure and no major onshore winds suggest only minor flood potential.
WHEN
• Peak concern around late afternoon through early evening on 09/07, coinciding with the high tide.
IMPACTS
• Localized minor flooding could affect low-lying coastal roads, marinas, or beach paths. Overall, no major disruptions or property damage are expected.
• Pressure values around 1002 hPa are higher than the historically more concerning events (e.g., ~992 hPa or lower).
• The tide height is below the 20 ft benchmark often seen in bigger flood events.
• NOAA’s low flood likelihood confirms minimal chance for significant coastal inundation.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Another strong high tide near 19.6 ft is anticipated around early evening (about 17:18 local time), accompanied by a barometric pressure of roughly 1002.32 hPa. Despite the relatively high tide, NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0.0%. Conditions again point to being close to a flood event, though no notable damage is expected.
WHEN
• Highest tide risk from mid to late afternoon into the early evening on 09/08.
IMPACTS
• Minor flooding in very low-lying coastal spots is possible. Parks or streets immediately adjacent to the shoreline could experience brief inundation, but widespread issues are not predicted.
• Historically, Category 4 floods in this area generally involve tide heights above about 20 ft with very low atmospheric pressure. These conditions do not align with that higher category.
• Constant 0.0% flood likelihood from NOAA strongly suggests only minor 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.
