Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While tides are forecast to reach around 20.26 ft, barometric pressure near 1012 hPa and NOAA’s low flood likelihood (1.4%) suggest conditions are not conducive to flooding in low-lying coastal areas.
WHEN
Highest tide near 08:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts anticipated. No road closures expected.
Compared with historical data, although the tide level is high, the barometric pressure is not especially low and NOAA's flood likelihood percentage remains minimal. Category 1–2 historically indicates no flooding, which aligns with the current forecast.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Tides could approach 20.01 ft, but the pressure remains around 1017 hPa, and NOAA’s flood likelihood for the day (0.3%) is very low.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal impacts or road closures anticipated.
Though past moderate flood events often featured similarly elevated tides, they also involved much lower barometric pressures and higher NOAA flood likelihood. Today’s conditions are relatively stable by comparison.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Tides will reach about 19.79 ft, but barometric pressure near 1018 hPa and a very low NOAA flood likelihood (0.1%) keep the threat minimal.
WHEN
Highest tide around 10:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected along the shoreline or in low-lying areas.
Although the tidal heights are relatively high, a stable pressure pattern and minimal wind influence reduce any significant flooding risk. Historical comparisons of Category 3 and above generally showed much lower pressures or higher NOAA flood likelihood percentages than observed here.
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.

Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
