Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Based on the available data—including a projected high tide of roughly 19.4 feet around 08:36 AM local time and barometric pressures around 1018 hPa—the potential for coastal flooding on this day is minimal. NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood, and the barometric pressure is well above thresholds historically associated with flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide levels will occur near 08:36 AM and again in the early evening (approximately 18:48).
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying areas, such as beach access points and coastal roadways, are unlikely to experience water intrusion based on current conditions.
• Tide heights near 19.4 ft are below the more significant 20+ ft levels observed in past Category 3 or 4 events.
• The barometric pressure near 1018 hPa is well above the historically low pressures (under ~992–1006 hPa) that contributed to flood conditions.
• NOAA’s daily flood likelihood is registered as Low (0.0%).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A similar pattern continues, with forecast high tide around 19.1 ft late morning (near 09:48 AM) and moderate pressure values around 1021 hPa. Conditions do not meet the criteria historically linked to coastal flood events.
WHEN
Peak high tide near 09:48 AM, plus a secondary high tide in the evening around 19:42.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Beaches and coastal roads should remain clear.
• Forecast barometric pressure remains high (~1021 hPa), reducing the potential for coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s data again indicates a 0% flood likelihood with sufficient distance below flood thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A maximum tide near 19.0 ft is anticipated at approximately 11:12 AM, accompanied by stable barometric pressure around 1023–1024 hPa. This combination falls well below levels typically conducive to coastal flooding.
WHEN
Greatest tide height around mid-day (11:12 AM) and a secondary high tide in the late evening (20:54).
IMPACTS
No significant flooding is expected. Normal tidal fluctuations will likely not cause inundation of shoreline properties or roadways.
• Comparisons to historical flooding events show these tide heights and pressures remain less extreme.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for Day 3 remains at 0.0%, indicating no imminent flood risk.
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.
