Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tidal heights near 19.0 ft do reach levels observed during past moderate events, but the barometric pressure is relatively high (above 1022 hPa). NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide around 07:06 AM and again near 05:18 PM PDT on 10/24.
IMPACTS
• No significant coastal flooding anticipated.
• Low-lying areas should remain clear of saltwater inundation.
Historically, higher barometric pressures like these reduce flood risks even when tidal heights are on the higher side. The wind is primarily from the south at moderate speeds, which also does not favor the kind of coastal setup that could produce flooding in Redondo Beach. NOAA’s daily flood likelihood remains very low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Predicted high tides again reach around 19.0 ft, but the barometric pressure remains above 1016 hPa, which is considerably higher than thresholds linked to flood events in the historical records. NOAA continues to project a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide about 07:48 AM and 05:48 PM PDT on 10/25.
IMPACTS
• No significant coastal flooding.
• Normal tidal fluctuations expected with minimal shoreline impacts.
Similar to Day 1, the tide will be fairly high, but pressures above 1016 hPa and south or southeast winds do not typically produce flooding conditions here. Conditions remain well within the historical “no flood” scenario range per NOAA’s guidance.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tidal levels will again be high (near 19.0 ft), but barometric pressure remains around 1013–1014 hPa, still not low enough to substantially elevate flood risk. NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide approximately 08:36 AM and 06:18 PM PDT on 10/26.
IMPACTS
• No notable coastal flooding impacts are expected.
• Shoreline areas remain accessible without flood-related closures.
Although Day 3’s pressure trends slightly lower than on Days 1 and 2, it is still far above the 992.8 hPa range historically associated with damaging coastal floods. The wind direction remains generally southerly, which further reduces onshore push of water.
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.
