Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tides will reach approximately 18.7 ft in the afternoon, but the barometric pressure is relatively high (around 1021 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Peak tide near 14:48 PST on 2025-11-18.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated in low-lying areas. Normal beach and roadway conditions are expected, with no road closures likely.
• Compared to historical Category 3 events, today’s forecasted tide is slightly below thresholds linked with past minor flood occurrences, and the barometric pressure is notably higher.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood data indicates a very low probability (0%).
• Winds are light and not from a strong onshore direction (W/NW), further reducing flood potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Although barometric pressure around the early morning high tide will be lower (near 1011 hPa), forecasted high tide levels (~19.0 ft) remain below historical coastal flood thresholds. NOAA’s forecast still indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
• Early morning high tide near 05:24 PST on 2025-11-19.
• Secondary afternoon high tide near 15:12 PST with higher pressure (~1016 hPa).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts to shoreline communities or roads are anticipated. Low-lying areas are not expected to experience inundation.
• Historical Category 4 events typically involved tide heights over 20 ft with much lower barometric pressures (e.g., below 1002 hPa).
• Despite a slightly lower morning pressure, there is no significant onshore wind from W/NW to elevate surge levels.
• NOAA’s analysis continues to show a low flood likelihood for November 19.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tide heights could approach 19.4 ft, but the barometric pressure is forecast to remain moderate (around 1016 hPa), and NOAA once again indicates 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
• Morning high tide near 06:00 PST on 2025-11-20.
• Afternoon high tide near 15:36 PST with similar or slightly lower water levels.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected along the coastline or in low-lying areas. Normal conditions along roads and beaches are anticipated.
• Although day 3’s tide height is moderately high, it does not reach the 20+ ft often associated with past flood events.
• Compared with historical events of Category 3 or higher, both pressure and wind conditions remain unfavorable for flooding.
• NOAA’s data for November 20 continues to show low flood likelihood.
