Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
High tides around the late afternoon/early evening hours will be relatively elevated (near 19.6 ft), while barometric pressure remains well above the severe low-pressure benchmark. These conditions place the area close to a flood event and worth monitoring; however, widespread or severe flood damage is unlikely.
WHEN
From approximately 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM PST Tuesday, centered on the high-tide peak at 5:18 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Minor flooding in very low-lying or shoreline areas is possible.
• Minimal impact to property is expected.
• Outdoor beach and waterfront activities could be briefly affected near high tide.
• The barometric pressure near 1007 hPa is notably higher than levels seen in past severe floods (which were at or below about 992 hPa).
• Historic Category 4 and higher events often included tides over 20 ft and substantially lower pressure.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-09-08 is 0%, reinforcing that significant flooding is not expected.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Tides will peak slightly higher than Day 1 (approximately 19.7–19.8 ft), but barometric pressure will be moderately higher (about 1012–1013 hPa). As with Day 1, these factors place conditions close to a potential flood event, but the overall risk for serious flooding or property damage remains low.
WHEN
Peak tide conditions around 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM PST, with the highest level near 5:48 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Brief, minor coastal inundation is possible in the most vulnerable low-lying areas.
• Unlikely to cause tangible property damage.
• Local roads and beachfront access points could experience minor water encroachment.
• Although the tidal height is somewhat high, the lack of low barometric pressure and strong wind reduces the overall flood threat.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0%, consistent with only minor impacts.
• Winds are not forecast to be as strong as previously recorded in higher-category historical events.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Continued high tides in the late afternoon (near 19.7 ft) combined with moderate barometric pressure (around 1013 hPa) suggest conditions remain close to a minor flood threshold but still are not expected to produce major or damaging flooding.
WHEN
Highest risk occurs around 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM PST, coinciding with the maximum tide near 6:18 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Occasional minor flooding in very low-lying coastal locations is possible.
• Significant property damage is unlikely.
• Coastal walkways and beach areas may briefly experience standing water.
• Tides remain below the more extreme historical flood heights (21+ ft).
• Barometric pressure is much higher than during severe flood events and serves to limit flood severity.
• NOAA maintains a 0% flood likelihood for this date.
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.
