Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide (approximately 19.84 ft) will coincide with a very high barometric pressure (around 1028.8 hPa), which greatly reduces any flood potential.
WHEN
Primary high tide periods:
• Early morning around 05:30 AM
• Late afternoon around 04:54 PM
IMPACTS
No notable flooding concerns. Low-lying areas and shorelines are not expected to experience tidal overflow.
Barometric pressure is significantly higher than in past flood events (e.g., 992.8 hPa or lower). NOAA’s flood likelihood data for 2025-10-08 is 0%, indicating minimal risk. Compared to historical Category 3+ events, the combination of these tide heights with high atmospheric pressure suggests no flood threats.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The maximum tide rises near 19.66 ft, but the barometric pressure remains near 1026 hPa, which is still too high to indicate flood potential.
WHEN
Primary high tide periods:
• Early morning around 06:30 AM
• Late afternoon around 05:24 PM–05:30 PM
IMPACTS
No known impacts to coastal areas based on these conditions.
Again, the barometric pressure is considerably higher than in historical flooding scenarios. NOAA’s report for 2025-10-09 also shows a 0% flood likelihood. Tides below 21 ft coupled with stable atmospheric conditions do not align with past flood events above Category 3.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected, even though moderate rain showers are likely. The highest tide (around 19.56 ft in the early morning) pairs with a barometric pressure near 1018.5 hPa, which is still significantly above the low-pressure thresholds commonly associated with flooding.
WHEN
Primary high tide periods:
• Morning around 07:30 AM
• Nighttime around 10:42 PM
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding concerns. Any rainfall is not anticipated to coincide with low enough pressure or high enough tides to present flood issues.
Despite some rainfall indicated, the higher barometric pressure and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood rating suggest no cause for concern. Historical data (e.g., 12/27/2022 Category 5 event) shows that substantially lower barometric pressure and higher tides (above 21 ft) were critical factors then, both of which are not present in the current forecast.
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.
