Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on October 3. High tide will reach around 18.8 ft mid-afternoon, but the barometric pressure (1005–1009 hPa) remains well above the historically low thresholds that have correlated with damaging floods in the past.
WHEN
Highest water levels near 14:30–15:00 local time.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated. Low-lying shoreline areas are unlikely to see significant water intrusion.
• Compared with past Category 3 or higher events, this day’s barometric pressure is too high to support noteworthy flooding despite moderately elevated tides.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0% chance of flooding, reinforcing minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding again on October 4. Tides will peak around 19.1 ft, but barometric pressure is even higher (about 1024 hPa), further reducing flood potential.
WHEN
Peak tide expected near 15:00–15:15 local time.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding concerns. Typical high-tide conditions along the shoreline with no expected inundation of roads or properties.
• Historically, tides around 19 ft have sometimes led to concerns when paired with low pressure systems. This day’s high pressure reading makes flood development unlikely.
• NOAA’s forecast continues to show a 0% likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding on October 5. Tides may approach 19.4 ft, but high barometric pressure (1023+ hPa) and very low wind speeds reduce any flood threat.
WHEN
Highest surge near 15:00–15:30 local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Shore areas will see typical high-tide conditions with no damage expected.
• While the peak tide is slightly higher than on Days 1 and 2, it remains below historical levels that caused flooding under much lower pressure.
• NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0%, signifying continued minimal concern.
