Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-10-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. High tide will reach approximately 18.93 feet in the morning, but with relatively high barometric pressure (around 1016.54 hPa) and no significant onshore wind component, conditions do not indicate flood concerns.

WHEN
Highest tide near 08:36 AM PST.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Compared to historic Category 3 or higher events, today’s barometric pressure is much higher and the peak tide is lower than thresholds typically associated with flooding.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for this date is listed as 0.0%, which aligns with no coastal flood risk under present conditions.


Day 2: 2025-10-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although an early morning high tide will reach around 18.75 feet, the barometric pressure is forecast to be even higher (approximately 1020.43 hPa) than on Day 1, reducing any flood potential.

WHEN
Highest tide near 09:30 AM PST.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Historically, flood events in Redondo Beach required either significantly higher tidal levels (above 20 ft) or notably lower pressure (near or below ~992–1002 hPa).
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%, supporting no flood threat on Day 2.


Day 3: 2025-10-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Peak tide levels near 18.63 feet coincide with a high barometric pressure of about 1022.57 hPa, making the conditions unfavorable for coastal flooding.

WHEN
Highest tide near 10:36 AM PST.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Tides remain below the heights that historically caused flooding events in the area, and pressure is firmly above low-pressure flood-trigger thresholds.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is again 0.0%, reinforcing the assessment that no flood conditions are anticipated on Day 3.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
