Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-10-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Tides reach around 18.8 ft, but barometric pressure remains moderate (around 1008–1009 hPa) and NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.

WHEN
Peak high tide near 14:42 PST on 2025-10-03.

IMPACTS
No notable flood impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas and roads should remain clear of saltwater or tidal overflow.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Historically, Category 3 or higher events have featured tides above 20 ft combined with lower barometric pressures (< 992.8 hPa), which is not the case here. NOAA’s forecast points to no flooding, with moderate pressures reducing storm surge risk.


Day 2: 2025-10-04

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Projected tides approach 19.1 ft, though barometric pressure is relatively high (around 1023.7 hPa), and NOAA has a 0.0% flood likelihood.

WHEN
Peak high tide near 15:06 PST on 2025-10-04.

IMPACTS
No anticipated impacts regarding flooding in coastal zones or adjacent roads.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Comparisons with past moderate and severe flood events show higher tide heights (over 20 ft) joined with low pressure. Current tides are below that threshold, with high atmospheric pressure providing additional stability.


Day 3: 2025-10-05

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. The highest tide (around 19.4 ft) is still below levels seen during past Category 3+ events, and pressure remains high (~1022.9 hPa). NOAA’s outlook again shows 0.0% flood likelihood.

WHEN
Peak high tide near 15:30 PST on 2025-10-05.

IMPACTS
No impacts are forecast. Parks, roads, and low-lying areas are unlikely to experience any significant inundation.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

In historical comparisons (e.g., Category 3 events with tides above 20 ft and lower pressure), conditions on 2025-10-05 fall well short of those parameters. Winds are light, and the barometric pressure is well above the severe-weather threshold.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

CATEGORY KEY
