Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides will reach approximately 19.6–19.7 ft. Despite the elevated tide levels, the barometric pressure is relatively high (around 1024–1026 hPa), which greatly reduces the chance of coastal flooding. NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
The primary times of concern are near the early morning high tide around 06:30 and again near 17:24 PDT.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Low-lying areas and shoreline access points should remain unaffected under these conditions.
Tide heights around 19.6–19.7 ft have historically led to closer calls when combined with significantly lower barometric pressure (around 992–1002 hPa). However, the current and forecasted high pressure systems lessen any flood risk. NOAA’s data for 2025-10-09 confirms minimal likelihood for flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will again approach 19.5–19.6 ft, with barometric pressure readings near 1016–1018 hPa. Although these tide levels can be notable, no significant flood risk is expected. NOAA continues to report a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides occur near 07:30 PDT and again late at around 22:42 PDT, but currently do not pose flooding concerns.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Daily activities near shorelines can proceed normally without additional precautions.
While the tide heights compare to some moderate historical events, those past incidents also featured much lower atmospheric pressures, a condition not present here. Wind direction and speed are not expected to exacerbate tidal levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
The final day in this forecast period shows maximum tides nearing 19.3–19.4 ft in the morning, with barometric pressure around 1017–1018 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
Peak tide of around 19.4 ft is expected near 08:30 PDT. An evening high tide near 18:48 PDT will also be monitored, though it remains below more concerning historical thresholds.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Normal tidal fluctuation around beaches, marinas, and waterfronts should not cause any inundation concerns.
Historically, similar tide levels have approached higher flood categories only when accompanied by significantly lower barometric pressures and stronger onshore winds. Current forecasts show neither of these conditions, so no risk of flooding is anticipated.
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.
