Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Predicted high tides remain below the 21 ft threshold, and barometric pressure is notably high, indicating stable atmospheric conditions.
WHEN
During the peak morning tide around 06:36 AM - 07:30 AM and the afternoon tide near 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Little or no inundation expected. Low-lying shoreline areas should remain unaffected under current forecasts.
Comparing these conditions to historical events, the barometric pressure is much higher (over 1025 hPa) and the maximum tide height near 20.4 ft is below the 21 ft benchmark typically associated with flood risk. NOAA’s flood likelihood is only 2.9%, significantly lower than in past Category 3 or higher events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding anticipated. Despite a slightly lower barometric pressure (approximately 1010 hPa), tide levels still do not exceed 21 ft.
WHEN
Peak tides near 07:30 AM - 08:00 AM and 05:00 PM - 06:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding concerns are expected in shoreline communities. Roads and infrastructure should remain clear of water intrusion.
Even though the pressure is lower than Day 1, it remains well above the critical 992.8 hPa level observed in past severe flooding events. NOAA rates the flood likelihood at only 3.2%. Historically, Category 3 events coincided with both lower pressure and higher tidal peaks than those forecast for Day 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest predicted tide around 20.3 ft remains below the typical flood threshold, with barometric pressure near 1011 hPa.
WHEN
Morning high tide spans approximately 07:30 AM - 08:30 AM; evening high tide around 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Low-lying waterfront areas should stay dry.
Compared to historical Category 3–4 floods, both tide height and barometric pressure remain out of the higher-risk range. NOAA’s 1.4% flood likelihood is minimal and does not suggest imminent 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.
