Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No immediate risk of flooding is expected. Tides will peak around 19.4 ft in the afternoon with relatively high barometric pressure (~1025 hPa).
WHEN
Highest water levels around 15:30 PDT.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood is 0.0% for this date.
• Historical Category 3 or higher events have typically required a tide above 20 ft in combination with a lower barometric pressure.
• Current conditions (tide around 19 ft and high barometric pressure over 1020 hPa) do not meet those thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No immediate flood risk is indicated. Tide levels could approach 19.6 ft during the afternoon high tide, but the barometric pressure remains above 1014 hPa—still well above the low-pressure levels associated with significant coastal flooding in past events.
WHEN
Highest water levels around 15:54 PDT.
IMPACTS
No impacts anticipated at this time.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• Past severe flooding events in the region have correlated with tide heights over 21 ft and barometric pressures near or below ~992 hPa.
• Today’s conditions do not align with those higher-risk patterns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood impacts are expected. The afternoon tide may reach near 19.8 ft, but barometric pressure around 1013–1014 hPa is still relatively high, indicating reduced coastal flood potential.
WHEN
Highest water levels potentially near 16:24 PDT.
IMPACTS
Minimal to no flooding concerns for coastal areas.
• NOAA’s forecast for this date continues at a 0.0% flood likelihood.
• While the tide is moderately high, it remains beneath the levels that historically caused flooding, and the pressure is not sufficiently low to raise concerns.
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.
