Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected on 2025-09-07. While the afternoon high tide reaches around 19.4 ft and barometric pressure briefly dips near 1002 hPa, NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%. This indicates no substantial risk of inundation in low-lying coastal areas.
WHEN
Highest tide near 16:54 PST on 2025-09-07.
IMPACTS
• No major impacts on land-based activities are anticipated.
• Low-lying areas should remain clear.
• Normal tidal fluctuations without flood-related road closures are expected.
Compared to historical Category 3 and 4 events, the predicted tide height (under 20 ft) and somewhat modestly low pressure (~1002 hPa) do not align with prior moderate flooding benchmarks. NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood further supports a low-risk scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on 2025-09-08. Although the tide could approach 19.6 ft, the barometric pressure remains relatively higher (around 1006–1007 hPa), and NOAA’s forecast continues to indicate no flood potential.
WHEN
Peak tidal conditions near 17:18 PST on 2025-09-08.
IMPACTS
• Coastal areas should experience routine tidal conditions.
• No property damage or road closures anticipated.
Historical comparisons show that higher tides coupled with low barometric pressure (generally < 993 hPa) are typically required to trigger even minor flood events. Current forecasts do not meet those criteria, and NOAA assigns a 0% flood likelihood for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Once again, no flooding is expected on 2025-09-09. Although the late afternoon tide is projected near 19.8 ft at around 17:48 PST, the barometric pressure is forecast to stay near 1007 hPa, and NOAA designates a 0% chance of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide around 17:48 PST on 2025-09-09.
IMPACTS
• Normal tidal action without notable flooding.
• Shoreline areas remain primarily unaffected.
Even though tide heights on this day approach the upper teens to near 20 ft, prior moderate flood events historically required significantly lower pressure or a higher flood-likelihood rating. All available data points toward stable conditions, consistent with Category 2 (“No risk of flooding”).
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.
