Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. The highest tidal levels are forecast to reach around 18.2 ft midday, but barometric pressure readings near 1014–1015 hPa are relatively moderate (not low), and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Greatest tidal heights around late morning into early afternoon on 2025-10-01, with no significant flood impacts anticipated at any time.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected in low-lying coastal areas. Travel and day-to-day activities should remain unaffected.
• Compared to historical flood events such as 12/27/2023 (Category 3) and 01/06/2025 (Category 3), the slightly lower tide heights and higher barometric pressure for 10/01 keep conditions well below any flood threshold.
• NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood further supports that no coastal flooding will occur.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected again. Although tidal levels may approach the mid-18 ft range, barometric pressures remain above flood-prone thresholds, and NOAA maintains a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide near early-to-mid afternoon on 2025-10-02. Conditions should remain stable throughout the day, posing no flood concerns.
IMPACTS
No noticeable inundation. Low-lying roads and coastal areas will remain unaffected.
• Historically, Category 3 or higher events often involve tides exceeding 20 ft or considerably lower pressure. Neither factor is present here.
• Wind speeds and directions do not suggest any heightened surge risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. The highest tide may reach around 18.8 ft in the early afternoon, but barometric pressure near 1006 hPa is still not low enough to raise concerns, and NOAA flood likelihood remains 0%.
WHEN
Midday on 2025-10-03 corresponds to the highest tide, but no flood impacts are anticipated at any point.
IMPACTS
No flooding issues expected for homes or infrastructure in Redondo Beach’s low-lying zones.
• Even though the barometric pressure dips slightly compared to previous days, it is still well above the historical low-pressure benchmarks associated with significant coastal flooding events (e.g., 12/27/2022, Category 5).
• NOAA’s analyses continue to show no notable flooding risk.
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.
