Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Despite relatively high tidal levels reaching around 18.6 ft late in the morning, barometric pressure remains high (above 1020 hPa), and NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides are projected near 10:36 AM and again near 8:00 PM PDT on 10/28.
IMPACTS
No substantial flooding expected. Coastal areas and low-lying spots are unlikely to see any inundation or closures under these conditions.
• Barometric pressure for both high tides (10:36 AM ~1023 hPa, 8:00 PM ~1019.6 hPa) is significantly higher than during historically notable flood events.
• Compared to past Category 3 events, current NOAA Flood Likelihood is 0.0%, and wind speeds remain low.
• Overall conditions point to minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will be moderately high but remain below the levels commonly linked to flood events, and barometric pressure stays at or above 1016 hPa.
WHEN
Peak tides are expected near 11:36 AM and 9:36 PM PDT on 10/29.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding. Low-lying areas and roads should remain unaffected.
• Historical Category 3-4 events often combined higher tides (>20 ft) with lower pressures (<1010 hPa). Here, tides are around 18.6–18.7 ft with moderate-to-high pressure (1016–1022 hPa).
• NOAA assigns a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date, confirming minimal concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding persists. Projected tides approach the high teens in feet, but the barometric pressure hovers near 1020–1021 hPa, well above thresholds associated with flood risk, and NOAA’s outlook remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
The highest tides fall around 12:24 PM and 11:12 PM PDT on 10/30.
IMPACTS
No direct impacts to infrastructure or travel are expected.
• Although tide forecasts near or slightly above 18 ft could draw attention, the consistently high pressure and lack of strong winds mitigate flooding likelihood.
• All three days show parallels to historical low-impact events rather than severe flooding episodes.
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.
