Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. The morning high tide is projected to reach around 18.75 ft, but with a relatively high barometric pressure near 1019–1020 hPa and low flood likelihood from NOAA (0.0%), conditions are not favorable for flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide heights of interest occur near 9:30 AM and again around 6:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations may cause slight inundation in very low-lying spots, but widespread or damaging floods are not forecast.
• Barometric pressure remains well above critical low levels historically associated with flooding events (< 992.8 hPa).
• Maximum tide heights (about 18.75 ft) are below the more significant flood thresholds seen in past Category 3+ events (often 20 ft or higher).
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2025-10-27 is 0.0%, indicating minimal concern for coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. High tide is forecast around mid-morning (near 10:36 AM), peaking below 19 ft with continued high barometric pressure in the 1020+ hPa range. NOAA again forecasts a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide concerns near 10:36 AM and 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Minor ponding in usual low-lying coastal areas is possible, but not expected to cause property damage.
• The barometric pressure remains higher than in historical flood scenarios, reducing the potential for a coastal surge.
• Tidal levels near 18.6 ft remain below the more critical levels historically linked with Category 3 or higher events.
• NOAA’s stated flood threshold (2.1 m) remains well below forecast water levels, but the “Low” likelihood reading (0.0%) underscores minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Although the barometric pressure dips closer to 1012.9 hPa at the highest tides (11:36 AM and 9:36 PM), it remains well above the historically significant low pressure thresholds. Tide heights (around 18.66 ft) do not align with past moderate or major flood events.
WHEN
Peak tides of note near 11:36 AM and 9:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No major flooding impacts are expected. Coastal areas should remain largely unaffected, with only typical tidal fluctuations occurring.
• While the barometric pressure is somewhat lower than Days 1 and 2, it is not in a range typically associated with flood risk (still well above ~992 hPa).
• Tidal levels remain below those seen in previous Category 3–5 flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, confirming low risk.
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.
