Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides near 19.6 ft during the early afternoon, but with high barometric pressure (around 1024.48 hPa) and a very low NOAA flood likelihood (0.0%), there is no apparent flood threat.
WHEN
Highest tide around 14:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No noted flooding concerns expected. Typical tidal conditions along low-lying areas.
Historical comparisons show that even though the tide is moderately high, the barometric pressure is notably higher than in recorded Category 3 or higher flood events (e.g., 01/06/2025 or 12/27/2023). NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2025-11-02 is effectively 0%, reinforcing a Category 2 (no risk) assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Projected tide peaks near 19.85 ft in the early afternoon, with barometric pressure around 1011.14 hPa. NOAA’s model gives just a 0.1% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide near 14:24 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected in coastal or low-lying areas.
Although the barometric pressure is lower compared to Day 1, it remains well above the historically significant low (near or below 992.8 hPa). Tide heights also remain below the ~21 ft level typically associated with stronger flooding events. NOAA foresees only a minimal chance of flood risk, supporting a Category 2 classification.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Afternoon high tide may reach about 20.0 ft. Barometric pressure near 1020.72 hPa, with NOAA likelihood at 0.5%.
WHEN
Highest tide around 14:54 PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated coastal flooding in most areas.
While this day’s tide is the highest of the three (touching 20 ft), the barometric pressure is still relatively high compared to severe historical floods (which typically involve pressures near or below 992.8 hPa). Because of NOAA’s very low flood probability and the lack of other risk factors (such as strong onshore winds or extremely low pressure), the event remains Category 2.
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.
