Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Tides will reach around 19.5 feet around mid-morning and later in the evening. However, barometric pressure remains relatively high (above 1013 hPa), and NOAA's likelihood of flooding is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide peaks near 7:30 AM and again near 6:00–7:00 PM, both well below the threshold for concern.
IMPACTS
No noteworthy flooding impacts are expected.
Despite the moderately high tide levels (around 19+ ft), barometric pressure readings are much higher than those typically associated with flood events. Comparisons to historical Category 3 or higher floods, which featured lower barometric pressure and a confirmed NOAA coastal flood likelihood, show that today’s conditions do not present a threat. NOAA data confirms there is 0% likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. Tide heights will be near 19.3–19.4 feet in the morning, with even higher atmospheric pressure readings (over 1018 hPa) than on Day 1.
WHEN
The highest tide is around 8:30 AM and peaks near 19.37 ft, but conditions should remain calm with little to no flood risk.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected in low-lying areas.
Historically, tides above 20 feet combined with low pressure have correlated with moderate flooding. Current pressure remains significantly higher, which reduces the possibility of water encroaching into vulnerable areas. NOAA’s forecast continues to show a 0% flood likelihood for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tide heights in the morning approach around 19.1–19.2 feet, but the barometric pressure remains quite high (around 1022 hPa).
WHEN
Peak tides occur mid-morning and again early in the evening, with no signs of coastal inundation.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts.
A review of historical Category 3–5 flood events shows tides usually climb beyond 20 feet and coincide with notably lower barometric pressure. By contrast, NOAA’s daily flood likelihood remains at 0%. The expected marine conditions do not align with known triggers for coastal flooding in the region.
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, but unlikely to cause damage.
• 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.
