Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will be relatively high (near 19.5 ft), but barometric pressure readings around 1013–1018 hPa remain well above critical low-pressure thresholds that typically contribute to coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides are projected around 7:30 AM and again near 6:00–6:30 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No observed or anticipated flooding of shoreline areas. Low-lying roads and properties are unlikely to experience inundation.
• Historical context shows that flood events of Category 3 or higher often involved tide heights above 20 ft combined with significantly lower barometric pressures (often near or below ~992.8 hPa).
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding for 2025-10-10.
• Winds are generally out of the south, not from the W/NW, so additional onshore push is minimal.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected, with high-tide levels again below 21 ft and barometric pressures (1019–1025 hPa) that are significantly above historically low flood-trigger thresholds.
WHEN
Early morning high tide around 8:36 AM PDT and an evening peak near 6:48 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts. Shorelines, parks, and roads adjacent to the water should remain clear of inundation.
• Even though tide heights near 19 ft are projected, these remain below the 21-ft-plus range typically associated with coastal floods in Redondo Beach.
• Barometric pressure remains quite high, greatly reducing flood risk.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at 0.0% for 2025-10-11.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected, with forecast maximum tides again below 21 ft and barometric pressures over 1020 hPa.
WHEN
Significant high tides projected around 9:48 AM and 7:42 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No signs of coastal inundation or property damage are anticipated.
• Comparing to historical Category 3–5 events, current barometric pressures are much higher, and tide heights are below the 21-ft threshold typically needed to generate flood impacts in this area.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis for 2025-10-12 remains at 0.0%, reinforcing minimal flood 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.
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.
