Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tides will peak around 19.66 ft during the early morning, but barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1015 hPa) and NOAA guidance indicates a very low flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide in the early morning hours (around 06:30–07:00 PST).
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas and shorelines should remain largely unaffected.
Despite a substantial high tide, the atmospheric pressure is well above the low-pressure thresholds historically correlated with flood events (e.g., below ~992.8 hPa). NOAA reports a 0% flood likelihood for 2025-11-21, further reducing concern. Compared to past Category 3 and 4 events, the current barometric conditions and forecasted winds do not suggest flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tides may reach up to ~19.76 ft early in the morning, but the barometric pressure (lowest near 1007 hPa) is still not in the critical low range, and NOAA indicates a near 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Morning high tide peaks around 07:00 PST.
IMPACTS
Minimal or no coastal flooding. No roadway closures or significant inundation are anticipated.
Although the high tide is slightly more elevated than Day 1, the barometric pressure remains considerably higher than the historically low readings (near 992 hPa) that have accompanied true flooding events. Winds are moderate and from southerly directions, and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains 0.1%, reinforcing the expectation of no flood impacts.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tides will again reach around 19.75 ft, but the atmospheric pressure is forecast to stay above 1015 hPa, limiting flood concerns.
WHEN
Morning high tide occurs near 07:30–08:00 PST, with a second high tide late in the afternoon/early evening.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding issues are anticipated. Infrastructure and low-lying areas should not experience inundation.
Even though the tide level is comparable to some past Category 3 events, the much higher barometric pressure and NOAA’s ongoing low flood probability (0.1%) indicate a lack of significant flood threat. In historical Category 3–4 events, pressures were notably lower and NOAA’s likelihood was substantially higher. Current conditions do not align with those risk levels.
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.
