Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant risk of flooding. While tide levels reach about 18.8 ft in the afternoon, barometric pressure is well above flooding thresholds (around 1008.98 hPa), and NOAA’s official flood likelihood stands at 0%.
WHEN
Peak high tide near 2:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts are anticipated in low-lying areas or roads at this time.
Tide heights on this day are notably lower than those observed during historical Category 3 events, and barometric pressure remains much higher than the low-pressure conditions often associated with coastal flooding. NOAA’s forecast confirms minimal flood likelihood for 2025-10-03.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The highest tide forecast is around 19.1 ft, but barometric pressure is elevated near 1023.69 hPa, which reduces the potential for coastal flood conditions. NOAA continues to indicate a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak high tide near 3:06 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Flooding is not expected for shorelines or low-lying infrastructure.
Although the predicted tide height is relatively high, the very high barometric pressure and calm wind speeds are not conducive to flooding. Past Category 4 events featured much lower pressures (e.g., near or below 1002 hPa) and higher tides above 20 ft. Current conditions do not align with those more severe thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Highest tide is estimated near 19.4 ft, with a barometric pressure of approximately 1022.87 hPa, and NOAA again reports a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Peak high tide near 3:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or major impacts along the coast.
Despite the moderate tide height, the high atmospheric pressure and calm wind pattern match conditions historically linked to minimal flood risk. These factors, combined with NOAA’s low flood likelihood, keep the risk firmly in the “no flooding” range.
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.
