Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the higher tides are in the 17–18 ft range, the barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1002–1011 hPa), and NOAA indicates 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tide heights occurring around early morning (02:42) and late evening (22:12) local time, but conditions should remain below flood thresholds throughout the day.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Low-lying coastal areas may experience typical high-tide conditions but are not expected to see flooding or notable inundation.
• Tides near 17–18 ft have historically coincided with minor flood-risk events only when barometric pressure was much lower (below ~992.8 hPa) or when NOAA flagged higher likelihood.
• Current wind directions (SSE/SSW) do not align with the W/NW direction often associated with enhanced tide-driven coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s latest data shows a 0.0% flood risk for this date, reinforcing a no-flood outlook.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on this day as well. Despite a high tide that may approach or exceed 18 ft, the forecast barometric pressure (near 1015 hPa) is relatively high, and NOAA indicates 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
The highest tide conditions occur early morning (around 06:54) and late at night (23:42) local time.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding or property damage is expected. Low-lying shoreline areas may see regular high-tide water levels without incursion into inland zones.
• While the tide is notably higher than Day 1, it still falls below historical flood trigger levels (above ~20 ft in tandem with very low pressure).
• Winds remain modest and predominantly out of the south/southwest, which lessens the risk of water being driven onshore.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, corresponding to a safe outlook.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Projected tide heights could reach around 18.5 ft midday, but barometric pressure remains around 1009–1010 hPa, and NOAA again rates flood likelihood at 0.0%.
WHEN
The highest risk period would be near midday (around 14:00–15:30 local time), yet conditions should remain below flooding thresholds.
IMPACTS
None anticipated other than normal high-tide effects. Coastal roads, beaches, and low-lying private properties are expected to stay dry.
• Historically, more severe coastal flooding tends to require both a tidal crest above 20 ft and substantially lower barometric pressure (<~992.8 hPa).
• Winds remain generally southeasterly and do not align with directions known to push seawater shoreward.
• NOAA’s 0.0% likelihood supports a stable outlook with no significant flooding concerns.
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.
