Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. Although the morning high tide will reach around 20.0 ft, barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1017.86 hPa), and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is listed as “Low.”
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding is anticipated in low-lying areas. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected to have minimal impact on roads or property.
• Compared to historical Category 3 events (which had similar or higher tide levels alongside “flood: true” conditions from NOAA), this date’s official forecast still rates the flood likelihood at a very low percentage.
• Winds are light and barometric pressure is not near the critical low-pressure threshold of 992.8 hPa that has accompanied flood events in the past.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding on this day. The highest tide (around 19.8 ft) occurs with a barometric pressure of roughly 1018.17 hPa, and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains “Low.”
WHEN
Highest tide near 10:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected; routine caution is advised near shorelines, but coastal roadways and properties are unlikely to be affected.
• Tidal levels are slightly lower than Day 1, and the overall meteorological setup does not suggest coastal flood conditions.
• Historical Category 3 or 4 events typically had stronger winds or a confirmed higher flood likelihood from NOAA, neither of which is present here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flood risk is indicated. The midday high tide of around 19.6–19.7 ft coincides with barometric pressures around 1011.85 hPa, well above the more dangerous low-pressure thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide near 11:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated; standard tidal fluctuations with minimal effects on local infrastructure.
• Although the pressure is modestly lower than on Days 1 and 2, it is still far from the critical values historically associated with flooding.
• NOAA’s official outlook for this date reports a flood likelihood of 0.0%, reinforcing the expectation of no flood occurrence.
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.
