Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on November 18. While tides near midday may approach moderate levels (around 18.7 ft), the barometric pressure is relatively high (about 1021.77 hPa), which reduces flood risk. NOAA’s latest forecast shows a 0.0% likelihood of flooding for this date.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around mid-afternoon (near 2:48 PM).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas along the waterfront should remain dry, with no property impacts expected.
Compared to historical flood events, the projected tide heights remain below 21 ft, and barometric pressure is substantially higher than in past flood events. Wind speeds remain light, further minimizing any concern for spillover or wave-driven flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding is expected. Although one of the high tides will be near 19.1 ft early in the morning, barometric pressure around 1012.76 hPa remains well above critical low-pressure thresholds observed during more severe flood events. NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tidal concern is around pre-dawn (approximately 5:24 AM).
IMPACTS
No anticipated impacts. Low-lying roads and coastal infrastructure are expected to remain unaffected.
Historical flooding typically occurs with tide heights over 21 ft and significantly lower barometric pressures. Current conditions do not approach these levels, keeping flood risk low. Wind speeds are modest, and the wind direction does not favor coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Similar to the previous days, there is no significant risk of flooding. Expected high tides up to around 19.4 ft, but barometric pressure near 1017 hPa remains too high to raise concerns. NOAA’s forecast again shows 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
The primary high tide will occur early in the morning (around 6:00 AM), followed by another moderate tide mid-afternoon (approximately 3:36 PM).
IMPACTS
No forecasted impacts. Shoreline roads and public areas should remain flood-free without property damage.
Although tide levels continue to be moderately high, they do not exceed 21 ft, and winds are light. Overall, these factors place the event well below the threshold for flood concerns, especially given NOAA’s consistently low flood likelihood forecast.
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.
