Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding expected. Tides will reach around 19 feet, but barometric pressure remains relatively high, and NOAA indicates no imminent flood likelihood.
WHEN
The highest tide will occur near mid-afternoon (around 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM local time), but conditions do not suggest flood impacts.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Normal daily activities should not be affected by tide levels on Day 1.
Day 1’s tide peak is similar to certain past Category 3 events in height; however, the higher barometric pressure (above 1020 hPa) and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood both indicate no real threat of flooding. This is substantially different from historical higher-risk situations that involved much lower barometric pressure and more extreme tides.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding expected. Peak tide will be close to 19 feet, but with stable, high barometric pressure, the conditions align with a low flood threat.
WHEN
Highest tides are projected in the late afternoon (around 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No expected flooding along the shoreline. Minimal to no impact on local infrastructure.
Though the tide height is fairly high, the barometric pressure remains around 1020 hPa, and NOAA continues to show 0% flood likelihood. Historically, Category 3 or greater events have involved significantly lower pressure or substantially higher tides.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding expected. High tide could approximate 19 feet, but barometric pressure remains well above the critical low range linked to notable flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide is expected mid to late afternoon (around 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding. Normal coastal activities should be unaffected.
Day 3’s pressured forecast (about 1014–1015 hPa) is still far higher than the thresholds observed during historical flood events, and NOAA indicates 0% flood likelihood. Each factor—tide height, wind direction, and pressure—fails to align for a flooding scenario.
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.
