Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Although tides will be relatively high (around 18.6 ft), the barometric pressure near 1022 hPa is high, which greatly reduces flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide near late morning (around 10:36 AM local time).
IMPACTS
No substantial impacts anticipated. Low-lying roads and shorelines should remain unaffected.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood is 0.0% for 2025-10-28.
• Prevailing high pressure (1022 hPa) and moderate winds (generally under 10 mph in the forecast) are not conducive to flooding.
• Historical Category 3 or higher events typically require 20+ ft tides combined with significantly lower pressure (<1006 hPa). None of those conditions are present on this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is forecast. Tides peak near 18.7 ft, but barometric pressure around 1015–1022 hPa remains well above the critical low-pressure threshold.
WHEN
Highest tide around midday (11:36 AM local time).
IMPACTS
No impacts to infrastructure or low-lying neighborhoods are expected.
• NOAA also indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood on 2025-10-29.
• While the tide is moderately high, the atmospheric pressure is not low enough to amplify storm surge.
• Compared to historical Category 4–5 events, today’s barometric pressure is substantially higher, limiting flood potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No anticipated flooding. Projected high tides around 18.8 ft coincide with stable barometric pressure near 1020–1021 hPa.
WHEN
Peak tide around midday (12:24 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No expected road closures or property damage from tidal inundation.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0% for 2025-10-30.
• Although tidal heights are moderately high, above 18 ft, historical records show that significantly lower barometric pressure and tides above 20 ft are usually needed to approach flood levels.
• Winds are generally light and not from a westerly or northwesterly direction expected to push water onshore.
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.
