Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on November 6. Forecast data indicates relatively high tides (around 20.1 ft) but with a very high barometric pressure (above 1025 hPa), which reduces the likelihood of coastal flooding. NOAA projects a very low chance of flooding (0.8%).
WHEN
Highest tide near 5:42 AM PST and another in the late afternoon around 4:06 PM PST; however, significant flooding is not anticipated at either tide cycle.
IMPACTS
No immediate flood impacts are expected. Normal tide-related variations along the shoreline may occur without reaching flood thresholds.
• Tides will peak around 20 ft, comparable to some historical Category 3 tide heights, but the barometric pressure is much higher than in past flood events (e.g., 12/27/2022 or 01/06/2025).
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is very low.
• Wind direction remains primarily SSE, with moderate speeds.
• Overall, conditions do not align with the intensity observed during notable flood events in Redondo Beach, WA.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on November 7 despite tides around or slightly above 20 ft. Barometric pressure remains high (1026–1034 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood guidance (2.9%) suggests only minimal concern.
WHEN
Highest tide in the early morning near 6:36 AM PST and another in the late afternoon near 4:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are expected. Coastal areas may see typical high-tide effects without any meaningful flooding.
• Although tide heights approach levels observed in past Category 3 events, the barometric pressures historically associated with coastal flooding (e.g., below 992–1002 hPa) are not present.
• Winds remain generally moderate from the SSW/SSW directions, offering limited additional push toward the shoreline.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on November 8. Tides may reach about 20.4 ft in the late afternoon (around 5:30 PM PST). While barometric pressure is lower (near 1008 hPa) than on previous days, it remains well above the historically critical low-pressure threshold. NOAA’s flood likelihood is still very low, at around 3.2%.
WHEN
Highest tide around 5:30 PM PST, with another elevated tide near 10:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No observable flooding impacts are likely. Low-lying or commonly inundated areas should remain unaffected based on the forecast data.
• Compared with past Category 3–4 events, the barometric pressure is not low enough to heighten flood threat significantly, and tide heights stay below the 21 ft and higher readings typical of more severe flood events.
• NOAA’s 3.2% chance of flooding remains well beneath the thresholds observed in prior documented flood incidents.
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.
