Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. The tide will reach an approximate peak near 19.1 ft, but prevailing high barometric pressure (well above 992.8 hPa) and low NOAA flood likelihood (0.0%) suggest no flooding concerns for most shoreline and low-lying areas.
WHEN
Highest tide near mid-morning (around 09:42–10:12 local time).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of roads or property. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected to occur without inundation concerns.
Barometric pressures for 2025-10-12 remain around 1011–1022 hPa, which is much higher than the low-pressure thresholds in past flood events. Historical Category 3 or 4 floods in this region typically involve tide heights exceeding 20 ft with significantly lower barometric pressure (under 1006 hPa). NOAA projects a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date, reinforcing the conclusion of no flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is indicated. Tide peaks are slightly under 19.0 ft, and forecast barometric pressure remains high (exceeding 1023 hPa). NOAA also suggests a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide around late morning to midday (near 10:42–11:12 local time).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Coastal areas should remain clear of tidal inundation.
Even though the tide approaches levels that have contributed to past Category 3 events, the persistence of relatively high pressure and a NOAA-projected 0.0% likelihood of flooding mean conditions do not favor coastal inundation. Comparisons with historical floods involving 20+ ft tides and lower barometric pressure further indicate no elevation in flood risk for Day 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood threat is anticipated. The top tide of about 19.0 ft combines with continued high barometric pressure above 1026 hPa, keeping flood risk negligible.
WHEN
Peak tide likely around midday (about 12:00–12:30 local time).
IMPACTS
No known impacts on shoreline roads or properties. Routine tidal activity is expected.
NOAA’s outlook remains at 0.0% flood likelihood, and comparisons to the historical Category 3+ flood events (which feature higher tidal heights—often above 20 ft—and far lower barometric pressures) confirm minimal risk. Wind directions favor neither a strong onshore push nor abnormally high waves that would elevate flooding 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.
