Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the afternoon high tide near 19.16 ft is relatively elevated compared to some historical lows, current barometric pressure around 997.68 hPa is not sufficiently low to heighten flooding concerns, and NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
The highest tide will occur around mid-afternoon (approximately 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM Local Time).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Shorelines, low-lying areas, and streets should remain unaffected under these conditions.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or higher events (which often involved lower barometric pressures below 992.8 hPa and tides above 20 ft), today’s tide height and pressure do not meet those thresholds.
• NOAA’s data shows a negligible chance of flooding for this day.
• Winds remain relatively light, with speeds below 10 mph, further reducing risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The high tide is projected to reach around 19.4 ft in the late afternoon, but the barometric pressure of about 1001.9 hPa remains too high to trigger concern. NOAA indicates a 0.0% chance of coastal flooding.
WHEN
The most elevated tide level will occur roughly between 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM Local Time.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding expected. Minimal to no impact on coastal roads, residential areas, and local infrastructure.
• Similar to Day 1, while the tide is moderately high, it does not align with the lower pressure and higher tide thresholds observed in past Category 3 and 4 floods.
• NOAA’s official outlook registers a low likelihood of flooding events.
• Wind speeds remain mild, which historically reduces onshore flow and associated risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tide forecasts indicate a maximum near 19.6 ft, but barometric pressure around 1001.7–1002 hPa and NOAA’s flood likelihood of 0.0% continue to suggest no significant risk.
WHEN
Peak high tide is anticipated in late afternoon, approximately 5:00 PM Local Time.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts expected to roadways, properties, or shoreline parks.
• Even though the Day 3 tide shows a slight increase over previous days, pressure levels remain well above historical low-pressure flood events.
• Current wind directions and speeds do not favor wind-driven tidal surges.
• NOAA’s model continues to project negligible flood probabilities.
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.
