Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. The morning high tide will be elevated but not high enough to cause flooding under the current conditions.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around mid-morning (approximately 08:00 AM – 09:30 AM).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas and beaches should remain largely unaffected given the relatively high barometric pressure and NOAA’s indication of no flood likelihood for this date.
On 2025-10-11, the maximum tide is forecast to reach nearly 19.4 ft, yet barometric pressure remains above 1018 hPa and NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.0%. Historical events of similar or slightly higher tide levels have typically required much lower pressure to trigger any flooding (e.g., below 992 hPa). Therefore, conditions are not conducive to flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding expected. Tides remain high but are counterbalanced by stable, relatively high barometric pressure.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around mid-morning (approximately 09:00 AM – 10:30 AM).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Normal beach and shoreline activities should remain unaffected.
The projected tide peak is around 19.1 ft, with pressure near or above 1021 hPa. NOAA’s data again indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood. Compared to historical flooding events with significant low pressure, these higher pressures reduce the potential for coastal inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding expected. Tide levels are moderately high, but barometric pressure remains strong, minimizing any flood risks.
WHEN
Peak tide late morning (approximately 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts on low-lying or shoreline areas, as flood conditions are not anticipated.
Although the maximum tide is near 19.0 ft, the high atmospheric pressure (above 1022 hPa) and NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood coincide to keep flood risk low. Historically, such tides without accompanying low pressure have not produced flooding in Redondo Beach.
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.
