Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although the morning high tide reaches around 18.09 ft, the barometric pressure remains relatively high (~1016.66 hPa), and NOAA’s official flood likelihood for this date is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around 08:00 AM PDT, but no significant flooding impacts are anticipated throughout the day.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. Low-lying roads and shorelines are unlikely to be affected.
• Historical comparisons show that tides above 17 ft have occasionally led to Category 3 events, but those typically involved significantly lower pressure or higher NOAA flood likelihood.
• Current conditions (higher pressure + 0% NOAA likelihood) reduce any concern of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide (~17.94 ft) coincides with a barometric pressure reading around 1011.69 hPa—still well above dangerous thresholds. NOAA’s forecasted likelihood for flooding remains 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs near 08:54 AM PDT, with a second high tide in the early evening, but conditions remain stable.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected without significant property or roadway effects.
• Historical Category 3 events often coincided with lower pressures (<=1006 hPa) or a confirmed NOAA flood signal.
• The modest wind speeds and moderate pressures indicated in forecasts further minimize any flood potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The projected high tide near 10:00 AM, around 17.76 ft, is accompanied by a barometric pressure around 1013.52 hPa. NOAA again projects 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs mid-morning (10:00 AM PDT), with no signs of coastal flooding later in the day.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding. Low-lying areas remain safe from tidal overflow during these conditions.
• While the tide level is moderately elevated, the associated pressure is not low enough to increase flood risk, and wind speeds/directions are not conducive to storm surge.
• This remains below the thresholds observed in past Category 3 or higher flood events.
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.
