Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides will be relatively high (peaking near 18 ft), but barometric pressure is well above low-pressure thresholds, and NOAA indicates 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide expected around early morning (07:12 AM) and late afternoon/early evening (around 06:00–07:00 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Coastal areas, including low-lying roads and parks, are expected to remain unaffected.
• Barometric pressure at high tide times is approximately 1013–1019 hPa, which is significantly higher than the 992.8 hPa threshold often associated with more severe events.
• Compared with similar tide levels from past Category 3 or higher events, the current elevated pressure and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood rating support a “no flood risk” categorization (Category 2).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Projected tides are again near 18 ft, but with stable or higher barometric pressure, indicating continued low flood potential.
WHEN
Primary high tides around 08:00 AM and 06:30–07:00 PM.
IMPACTS
No known impacts are expected. Normal activity can continue around the shoreline without flooding concerns.
• Barometric pressure readings are forecast at or above 1017 hPa, which further reduces flood risk.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0%, consistent with the absence of significant coastal flooding drivers.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Morning and evening tides (near 17.9–18.0 ft) are below critical flood thresholds and occur with mid-range barometric pressure readings around 1013 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tides expected around 08:54 AM and roughly 07:00–08:00 PM.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of beaches, roads, or low-lying infrastructure.
• Conditions compare to historical Category 3 events that had lower atmospheric pressure and higher NOAA flood likelihood; here, NOAA’s forecast is 0.0%.
• No strong onshore wind events (e.g., from the W or NW) are forecast to exacerbate tidal influences; winds are moderate to light.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any updates. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action if future conditions change.
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.
