Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Barometric pressure remains significantly higher than in past flood events, and NOAA’s likelihood of flooding is reported as 0%. Although the predicted high tide reaches approximately 18.7 ft around 16:00 PST, these conditions do not align with historical flood thresholds, especially given the very high barometric pressure.
WHEN
Primary high tide cycle on 2025-10-21 around 16:00 PST and a secondary high tide around 21:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts are expected under current conditions.
• Comparing to historical Category 3 or higher events, this day’s maximum tide height is significantly lower than the ~20+ ft levels previously associated with moderate flooding.
• Extremely high barometric pressure (approximately 1036 hPa) greatly reduces the likelihood of flood-related issues.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a 0% chance of flooding for this date, further confirming a minimal risk scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Despite another moderately high tide (peaking near 18.6+ ft in the early morning and late afternoon), barometric pressure is even higher than on Day 1, and NOAA continues to forecast no risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 05:48 PST and again near 16:24 PST on 2025-10-22.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts expected.
• Barometric pressure values (around 1038 hPa at peak tide) are unusually high, indicating stable atmospheric conditions not conducive to coastal flooding.
• Historically, Category 4 or 5 flood events combined tides above ~20 ft with notably lower pressures (~1002 hPa or below). Current conditions differ significantly from those scenarios.
• NOAA indicates 0% flood likelihood, consistent with calm weather and strong high-pressure systems.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides may reach around 18.8–18.9 ft, but again, ultra-high barometric pressure (~1034–1035 hPa) continues to diminish any chance of coastal flooding, and NOAA reports no notable flood risk.
WHEN
High tides for 2025-10-23 occur near 06:30 PST and again around 16:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are anticipated.
• Historical Category 3 events (e.g., 01/06/2025) were closer to 20+ ft tide levels alongside lower barometric pressures (~1020 hPa).
• Present conditions remain far from those flood thresholds, further supported by NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood.
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.
