Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected on this day. While tidal levels will be relatively high (peaking around late morning), the atmospheric pressure is significantly above 1020 hPa, which greatly reduces the likelihood of any flooding.
WHEN
The highest tidal levels on 2025-10-13 are forecast near the late morning hours (around 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM local time).
IMPACTS
No significant flood impacts are expected. Areas along the immediate shoreline should see typical high-tide conditions, but no inundation is likely.
• Barometric pressure readings near 1024 hPa are higher than those recorded during historical flood events, which often featured pressures under 1005 hPa.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Forecast indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding for the Seattle region on this date.
• Winds from the north at around 10–18 mph do not raise concern for coastal surge.
• Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, the much higher atmospheric pressure and lower wind speeds here substantially lessen any flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Conditions remain stable, with high barometric pressure (above 1028 hPa) and tides reaching around 19 feet in the early afternoon. No risk of flooding is anticipated, matching the low NOAA Flood Likelihood forecast.
WHEN
A higher tide is expected midday (around 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts are expected for coastal areas or typical low-lying spots.
• Tidal levels around 19 feet are below the more significant thresholds observed in previous Category 4 or 5 events, where tides exceeded 20 feet combined with low pressure.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., 01/07/2022 at Category 4) show that lower pressures around 992–1002 hPa helped drive flooding. Here, significantly higher pressure prevents such issues.
• NOAA still indicates 0.0% likelihood of coastal flooding on this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides remain elevated, peaking in the early afternoon (around 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM), but the continued high atmospheric pressure (forecast around 1028 hPa) and calm weather pattern keep flood risk at virtually zero.
WHEN
Highest tide period aligns with the early to mid-afternoon hours (approx. 1:00 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts to shoreline properties or low-lying streets; normal tidal fluctuations expected.
• The maximum tide on this day nears 19 feet but is well below the 20+ foot levels coupled with low pressure that historically corresponded to Category 4 or 5 flooding events.
• Wind speeds are generally light, which minimizes onshore push of water.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%, reinforcing no imminent concerns for property or roadway flooding.
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.
