Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk is anticipated. While the morning high tide (around 18.7 ft) is moderately elevated, the barometric pressure remains relatively high at approximately 1020 hPa, and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood for this date.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:30 AM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected at this time.
Historical Category 3 events generally featured tides exceeding 20 ft and sometimes lower barometric pressures (closer to 1000 hPa or below). Day 1’s tides do not rise to that threshold, and current high pressure conditions reduce the likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk has been identified. Although tide levels will again be in the upper teens (roughly 18.6 ft), the barometric pressure around 1023 hPa is still high, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 10:36 AM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected.
Comparisons with past Category 3 and Category 4 events show that significantly higher tide heights (well over 20 ft) or notably lower barometric pressures (below 1000 hPa) contributed to coastal flooding. Neither condition is met on Day 2, reinforcing a low-risk assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Little to no risk of flooding on Day 3. Peak tides will be around 18.7 ft, with barometric pressure at about 1012.8 hPa—a bit lower than previous days but still not near the historically significant low-pressure benchmarks.
WHEN
Highest tide near 11:36 AM and again near 21:36 (9:36 PM) local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected.
Despite a modest drop in barometric pressure compared to Days 1 and 2, it remains above thresholds commonly associated with flood events in historical data. NOAA continues to show a 0% likelihood, indicating minimal concern based on current information.
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.
