Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach nearly 18 ft with relatively low barometric pressure near 995–998 hPa, but this remains below thresholds historically linked to coastal flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide near 11:30 AM local time on 2025-09-14, with an earlier high tide around 05:54 AM.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying areas should not experience any inundation. Normal beach and shoreline activity is anticipated.
• NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood for this date.
• While pressure is slightly lower than average, it remains above the critical ~992.8 hPa benchmark observed in past severe events.
• Tide levels remain below 21 ft. Historical Category 3 or higher floods typically involved tide levels above 20 ft, often coinciding with lower pressure or higher winds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Maximum tides near 18.3 ft, but barometric pressures around 1010 hPa are significantly higher than those associated with flooding in the past.
WHEN
Highest tides around 02:24 AM and 10:00 AM–2:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Minimal or no flooding impacts anticipated. Areas along the shoreline should remain unaffected.
• NOAA data again indicates a 0% chance of flooding.
• Historical Category 3+ events generally had 20 ft+ tides or lower pressures near/below 992.8 hPa, neither of which applies here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides may peak near 18.8 ft late in the afternoon, although barometric pressure remains well above critical levels, making flood conditions unlikely.
WHEN
Highest tide around 14:00–14:30 local time on 2025-09-16.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding. Routine shoreline activities can proceed without likely disruptions.
• As on the prior days, NOAA reports a 0% flood likelihood.
• Tides below 21 ft and relatively moderate pressure (about 1009–1010 hPa) historically do not produce coastal 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.
