Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Minor tidal flooding potential but unlikely to cause notable property damage. Forecasted high tide near 19.8 ft in the early evening. Barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1016 hPa), reducing the overall flood risk.
WHEN
The highest tide is expected around 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Low-lying areas along the immediate shoreline could experience brief minor water encroachment. Road closures are unlikely but should be monitored.
• Compared to historical Category 3 events with tide heights around 17–20 ft, this event has a similar tide height but higher barometric pressure, lessening severe flood potential.
• NOAA projects a 0% flood likelihood for 09/10/2025.
• Winds are not forecasted to be strong or from a direction (W/NW) that typically increases flood risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
High tide near 19.6 ft is anticipated in the evening. Barometric pressure will be slightly lower (around 1006 hPa) compared to Day 1, but it remains well above the critical low-pressure thresholds historically linked with more severe flooding.
WHEN
Flood monitoring is advised from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Minor encroachment into low-lying coastal zones remains possible. Widespread flooding or major property damage is unlikely.
• Historical data suggests that tide heights approaching 20 ft can warrant concern; however, extremely low barometric pressure (near or under 992.8 hPa) is not present, limiting flood intensity.
• NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood for 09/11/2025 further supports minimal flood impact.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Tide levels may reach about 19.2 ft during the early evening. Forecast pressure near 1006–1007 hPa remains higher than typical severe-flood conditions.
WHEN
Monitor conditions from around 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST when the tide will be at its peak.
IMPACTS
Minor water intrusion in vulnerable shoreline spots could occur. Significant property damage is not expected, though caution is advised in typical trouble spots.
• NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood for 09/12/2025.
• With no substantial wind-driven surge forecast and no extreme low pressure, conditions align most closely with historical Category 3 events rather than higher-impact categories.
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.
