Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant flood risk is expected. Tides will reach around 20.0 ft, but the barometric pressure is relatively high (approximately 1020 hPa), and NOAA’s forecast indicates a very low flood likelihood of only 0.5%.
WHEN Highest tide near 14:54 PST.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are anticipated. Coastal areas and low-lying spots should remain unaffected under these conditions.
Compared to historical events where tides above 20 ft coincided with lower barometric pressures and higher NOAA flood likelihoods, the current high pressure and minimal wind speed significantly reduce flood potential. This scenario contrasts with Category 3 or higher events, which typically had much stronger NOAA flood signals or far lower barometric readings.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant flood risk is expected again. Although tides may approach 20 ft, barometric pressure is forecast to be even higher (around 1025 hPa), with only a 0.3% chance of flooding per NOAA.
WHEN Highest tide near 15:30 PST.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas under these stable conditions.
Historical flooding has required a combination of high tides, much lower barometric pressure, and higher wind speed or NOAA flood likelihood. None of those factors are present here, so the potential for rising water into roads or property is minimal.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant flood risk is expected. Tides near or slightly above 20 ft coincide with high barometric pressure (about 1023–1024 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains low at 0.8%.
WHEN Primary high tides occur near 05:42 PST and 16:06 PST.
IMPACTS Minimal or no flooding impacts are anticipated. No property damage or road closures are expected.
Even though the predicted tide heights are comparable to past moderate events, the substantially higher pressure readings and consistently low NOAA flood likelihood sharply reduce the chance of coastal flooding.
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.
