Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No immediate risk of flooding. Tides will be relatively high, nearing approximately 19.75 feet in the morning; however, barometric pressure (about 1016.6 hPa) remains moderate to high, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is extremely low (0.1%).
WHEN
Highest tide near 07:42 AM PST on 11/23.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts expected. Low-lying shoreline areas may see elevated water levels but should remain below typical flood thresholds.
• Although the tide is fairly high, historical events resulting in Category 3 flooding or above have typically coincided with lower barometric pressure (generally below about 1002 hPa) or higher-than-20 ft tides.
• NOAA’s current analysis indicates minimal chance of flooding; likelihood remains near or below 0.1%.
• Winds from the south at around 14 mph are not strong enough to exacerbate coastal inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides again approach 19.7 feet but barometric pressure remains quite high (around 1024.5–1025 hPa).
WHEN
Highest tide near 08:24 AM PST on 11/24.
IMPACTS
No reported roadway or property flooding concerns. Conditions are more stable than Day 1 due to higher atmospheric pressure.
• Even though the tide itself is still significant, Category 4 or higher flood events historically align with tide heights over 20 ft plus notably lower pressure.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood continues at only 0.1%, indicating effectively no flooding threat.
• Light winds and high pressure reduce onshore water push, further minimizing the potential for inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Peak tide is slightly below 20 ft, with a barometric pressure of roughly 1018.6 hPa, and NOAA’s reported flood likelihood is 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:06 AM PST on 11/25.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding or property damage anticipated. Coastal areas should remain unaffected beyond normally high tide conditions.
• Historical comparisons show that Category 3+ floods typically occur with even higher tides (above ~20 ft) and/or much lower barometric pressures.
• Light to moderate winds further reduce coastal flood risk.
• NOAA flood likelihood reads 0.0% for this date, indicating negligible possibility of any coastal inundation.
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.
