Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Despite moderately high tide levels reaching near 19.3 ft, the barometric pressure remains relatively high (approximately 1021 hPa), and NOAA reports a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide around midday on November 1 (approximately 1:30 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding impacts. Low-lying coastal areas should remain clear of flooding, and major disruptions are not expected.
• Barometric pressure is significantly higher than during historical Category 4 or 5 flooding events, reducing flood risk.
• NOAA’s daily flood likelihood is 0%, indicating minimal concern for coastal inundation.
• Historical comparison suggests that tide heights below ~20 ft, paired with higher barometric pressure near 1020 hPa or above, typically do not produce flooding conditions in Redondo Beach, WA.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The forecast shows a high tide near 19.6 ft, but the barometric pressure is very high (about 1025–1026 hPa), and NOAA continues to signal a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide in the early afternoon on November 2 (around 2:00 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding impacts in low-lying coastal zones. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected, with no disruption to local infrastructure.
• Historically, pressure levels this high combined with tide heights under ~20 ft have not caused flooding.
• Winds are not forecasted to be strong, and their current direction does not favor pushing water onshore significantly.
• NOAA’s low flood likelihood supports a minimal concern for coastal inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides approach the 19.8–19.9 ft range, but barometric pressure is still not low enough (about 1009–1010 hPa) to elevate flood concerns. NOAA reports only 0.1% likelihood for flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide in the afternoon on November 3 (near 2:24 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No indication of flooding impacts. Typical tidal conditions anticipated, and low-lying areas are unlikely to see water encroachment.
• Although the tide is relatively high compared to some past Category 3 events, the barometric pressure remains much higher than in those flood scenarios, which significantly reduces the risk.
• NOAA’s reported flood threshold distance indicates no imminent risk of water surpassing typical coastal boundaries.
• Wind conditions appear mild, further minimizing any surge-related effects.
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, though major property damage is uncertain.
• Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
