Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides near 19.8 ft are expected, but given the moderate barometric pressure (~1010.7 hPa) and very low NOAA flood likelihood (0.1%), no flooding impacts are anticipated.
WHEN
Primary high tide around 2:48 AM and 2:24 PM PST on 2025-11-03.
IMPACTS
No known flooding concerns by early data. Low-lying areas should not experience significant water intrusion or damage.
Despite the relatively high tide level (~19.8 ft), the barometric pressure is not critically low, and winds are light with no strong onshore component. Historical Category 3 or higher events typically involved lower pressures (near or below ~1000 hPa) or notably higher wind speeds. NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2025-11-03 is minimal, further reducing the chance of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides could reach around 20.0 ft; however, barometric pressure is forecast to be quite high (~1021.9 hPa), indicating stable conditions with no notable flood risk.
WHEN
Peak tidal periods around 3:48 AM and 2:54 PM PST on 2025-11-04.
IMPACTS
With strong high pressure and only a 0.5% flood likelihood reported by NOAA, significant flooding is not expected.
Although the projected tide is approaching 20 ft, the high atmospheric pressure offsets concerns. Historical moderate flooding events usually feature both elevated tide heights and low barometric pressure (e.g., <1002 hPa). Current conditions do not align with those more serious precedents.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide forecasts indicate near 20.0 ft again, but the barometric pressure (~1019.8 hPa) remains comfortably above the critical low range, making flooding unlikely.
WHEN
Highest tides near 4:42 AM and 3:30 PM PST on 2025-11-05.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected. NOAA’s flood likelihood stays low at 0.3%.
Winds are not favorably aligned for significant coastal water push, and the moderate to high barometric pressure provides additional stability. Compared to historical Category 3–4 events, the current setup lacks the lower pressure and stronger onshore wind that would raise concern.
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.
