Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide is forecast to peak near 19.65 ft around mid-afternoon, but barometric pressure remains moderate (about 1014.9 hPa), and NOAA reports a 0% flood likelihood for this date.
WHEN
Peak tide near 15:54 PDT on 2025-10-06.
IMPACTS
No immediate impacts are anticipated. Coastal roads and low-lying shore areas should remain clear.
Despite a relatively high tide, the barometric pressure is safely above the critical lower thresholds associated with coastal flooding (well above ~992.8 hPa). Historical Category 3 or higher events typically involved either lower barometric pressure or significantly higher tide levels, and NOAA’s current analysis indicates minimal flood risk today.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is projected. Forecasted tide heights may approach about 19.0 ft during the early morning hours, and although the barometric pressure is slightly lower than Day 1 (near 1013.6 hPa), it is still well above the historically low levels that have contributed to past flooding events. NOAA again indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tide near 04:36 PDT on 2025-10-07.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding. Normal tidal variations are anticipated without any significant inundation in the Redondo Beach area.
Comparisons with past coastal flood events show that either stronger onshore winds, significantly lower pressure, or tides exceeding 21 ft were common factors for more serious flooding. None of these critical factors are present, and NOAA data supports a continued low risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While the afternoon tide could reach around 19.8 ft, the barometric pressure remains high at roughly 1026 hPa, and NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% likelihood of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide near 16:54 PDT on 2025-10-08.
IMPACTS
No immediate impacts anticipated. Low-lying coastal areas are not expected to experience any inundation.
Historically, flood events in the region involved a combination of tide heights over 21 ft and very low barometric pressure—conditions that are not met on this day. Additionally, wind speeds in the forecast remain relatively light, further reducing any storm surge potential.
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.
