Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach around 18.5 ft at their highest, which is below thresholds linked to previous moderate or severe flooding. Barometric pressures (near 1001-1006 hPa) are not critically low, reducing the likelihood of flood conditions.
WHEN
• Highest water level around mid-morning (06:24) and late afternoon (17:48).
IMPACTS
• No substantial flooding impacts anticipated.
• Low-lying coastal roads and parks should remain unaffected.
NOAA data indicates a 0% flood likelihood. Historically, higher flood categories often correlate with significantly lower pressures (near or below 992 hPa) combined with tides above 20 ft. Since neither condition is met, the forecast stays in Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tide levels will again approach the 18 ft range, but high pressure (generally above 1012 hPa) and calm winds keep conditions stable.
WHEN
• Key high tides occur around early morning (07:12) and early evening (18:12).
IMPACTS
• No notable impacts are expected.
Barometric pressure remains elevated (near or above 1020 hPa at times), diminishing the chance of coastal flooding. NOAA’s model still forecasts a 0% flood likelihood, aligning with historical patterns that show significantly higher tides or lower pressures required for any flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Although tides will continue to peak near 18 ft, pressures around 1018 hPa do not indicate stormy conditions.
WHEN
• Highest tides expected in the morning (08:00) and late afternoon/evening (18:42).
IMPACTS
• Flooding of local roads or low-lying property is unlikely.
Pressure levels remain relatively high compared to historical flood events, and NOAA’s assessment shows a continued 0% flood likelihood. Past severe floods generally required tides surpassing 20 ft in conjunction with notably low barometric pressure.
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.
