Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Tides reach near 19 ft in the afternoon, but barometric pressure remains high, reducing any flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide around 15:00–16:00 PST on 2025-10-04.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations along the shoreline.
• Barometric pressure at peak tide remains around 1024 hPa, well above the historically low-pressure events that contributed to more serious flooding.
• NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood for this date, confirming limited risk.
• Compared to prior Category 3 or higher events, both wind speeds and direction are mild and not favoring onshore surges.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Although afternoon high tides again approach 19 ft, the exceptionally high barometric pressure keeps conditions benign.
WHEN
Highest tide around 15:00–15:30 PST on 2025-10-05.
IMPACTS
No flooding expected in coastal or low-lying areas.
• Peak barometric pressure around 1025 hPa is substantially higher than configurations seen in more significant flooding events.
• NOAA flood likelihood remains 0.0%, reinforcing low-to-no flood potential.
• Historical flood events with comparable tide heights typically had much lower pressure and higher wind speeds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Despite a slightly lower barometric pressure near afternoon high tide (about 19.6 ft), it remains well above critical flood triggers.
WHEN
Highest tide near 15:30–16:00 PST on 2025-10-06.
IMPACTS
No expected impacts; local roads, shorelines, and infrastructure should remain unaffected.
• Barometric pressure around 1018 hPa still does not approach historically low thresholds (below ~992 hPa) associated with strong coastal flood potential.
• NOAA continues to indicate minimal flood risk (0.0%).
• Wind speeds and directions are not conducive to significant onshore storm surge, unlike in higher-category historical events.
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.
