Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-10-19

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. While tides will reach nearly 19 ft in the mid-afternoon, the barometric pressure is significantly higher than past flood events, reducing any flood risk to negligible levels.

WHEN
Highest tides will occur around 3:24 PM local time, but no flood impacts are anticipated.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are currently anticipated. Normal coastal conditions are expected for low-lying areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Despite relatively high tidal levels, the extremely high barometric pressure (above 1030 hPa) greatly diminishes the likelihood of coastal flooding. NOAA’s flood likelihood data also indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding for 2025-10-19, aligning with the assessment that there is no flood threat at this time.


Day 2: 2025-10-20

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood risk is expected. High tide will again approach 19 ft, but barometric pressure remains well above the critical low-pressure threshold associated with historical flooding in Redondo Beach.

WHEN
Peak tide around 3:42 PM local time, with no significant flooding concerns forecasted.

IMPACTS
No significant impacts. Roads and low-lying areas should remain clear of water.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Current forecasts show sustained high pressure near or above 1030 hPa during peak tidal periods, a stark contrast to historic flood events (which had pressures below 1002 hPa). NOAA data indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-10-20, confirming no anticipated coastal inundation.


Day 3: 2025-10-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Tides may reach 18–19 ft, but the atmospheric pressure remains too high to create notable risk.

WHEN
Highest tide occurs near 4:00 PM local time. Conditions do not favor flooding at this time.

IMPACTS
No forecasted flooding in or around shorelines or low-lying roads.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Although the tidal levels are relatively high, barometric pressure remains around 1030 hPa, which is well above the levels typically linked to significant coastal flooding events. NOAA reports 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-10-21, consistent with minimal flood risk.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
