Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will be elevated (approximately 17.9 ft at peak), but barometric pressure readings around 1010–1011 hPa and calm winds keep conditions below typical flood thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tides expected near mid-morning (around 08:54 AM) and early evening (around 07:12 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Low-lying coastal areas should remain unaffected, and normal daily activity is expected without disruption.
• Comparison with historical Category 3 events (e.g., 12/27/2023) shows lower flood likelihood here, as NOAA is reporting a 0% chance of flooding for the day.
• The barometric pressure is not significantly low, reducing the potential for a serious coastal flood event despite moderately high tides.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tides remain moderately high (peaking near 17.7–17.8 ft), barometric pressures are relatively high (about 1012–1014 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Elevated tides around midnight (00:36 AM) and later in the morning (10:00 AM), but neither are projected to approach flood levels.
IMPACTS
No anticipated coastal flooding. Beaches and low-lying roads should stay clear of inundation.
• Barometric pressure is above historically flood-inducing levels (well above ~992.8 hPa).
• Winds remain relatively light, limiting onshore water push.
• Historical comparison supports a lower category due to consistently low flood-risk signals.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected for Day 3. Tides will again be moderately high (topping around mid- to upper-17 ft range), but with pressure generally near or above 1007 hPa and NOAA’s ongoing 0% flood likelihood, conditions are not conducive to flooding.
WHEN
High tide periods occur in the early morning (around 04:54 AM) and mid-morning to midday hours but remain below major flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
No disruption is expected from tidal flooding in coastal neighborhoods.
• Barometric pressure near 1007–1011 hPa is not low enough to increase flood risk significantly.
• Winds do not align with the stronger onshore directions seen in previous higher-category flood events.
• Overall flood conditions remain minimal based on NOAA’s low-likelihood forecast.
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.
