Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial flooding is expected. Although the tide will peak around 19.8 ft near 6:24 AM and again near 18:18 (6:18 PM), barometric pressure is relatively high (approximately 1016.7 hPa), and NOAA predicts a 0% flood likelihood. These conditions do not align with historical flooding thresholds.
WHEN
Peak tide levels are projected from early morning (near 6:24 AM) until early evening (around 6:18 PM).
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas and shorelines are not expected to experience flooding conditions under these forecasts.
• Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, today’s pressure is not low enough to amplify tide heights into a flood risk range.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%, affirming minimal flood concerns for today.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial flooding is expected. Tide heights may reach approximately 19.6 ft around 7:24 AM and 6:48 PM, but barometric pressure (near 1005.9 hPa) is still well above the historically critical low-pressure thresholds (below ~992.8 hPa). NOAA again indicates a 0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide levels are anticipated in the early morning and early evening.
IMPACTS
Coastal flooding is not forecast, with no property damage or inundation in low-lying coastal areas likely.
• Even though barometric pressure is somewhat lower than on Day 1, it remains significantly higher than the severe-flood benchmarks in historical Category 4–5 events.
• Winds appear light, limiting onshore push. NOAA’s low flood likelihood further supports minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is indicated. Tides near 8:30 AM may reach around 19.2 ft, yet forecast barometric pressure (~1005.7 hPa) is not low enough to pose coastal flooding concerns. NOAA’s likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Higher tide levels are expected from the early morning (3:48 AM peak) through mid-morning (8:30 AM) and again into the evening hours.
IMPACTS
Little to no flooding impacts are projected for low-lying areas, beaches, or roadways.
• Historically, comparable tide heights have sometimes approached minor flood conditions only when coupled with very low pressure and higher onshore winds. Neither is present here.
• With NOAA indicating no significant flood potential, conditions are unlikely to escalate to a flood event.
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.
