Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although there will be a relatively high tide near 19.7 ft, the barometric pressure is forecast to remain high (approximately 1024 hPa), which historically reduces flood risk.
WHEN
The highest tide on Day 1 will occur around mid-morning (about 08:24 PST).
IMPACTS
No appreciable flooding impacts for low-lying areas; roads and property should remain unaffected.
Comparing the 2025-11-24 conditions (high tide ~19.7 ft, pressure ~1024 hPa, NOAA flood likelihood 0.1%) to past events shows that while the tide height is moderately high, the barometric pressure is much higher than typical flood-triggering levels (below ~992 hPa). Furthermore, NOAA rates flood likelihood as very low. These factors collectively keep the expected flood category at 2, indicating no flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Tides will again peak around 19.6 ft, but with pressure near 1016 hPa and continuing low flooding likelihood from NOAA.
WHEN
High tide will occur in the mid-morning (around 09:06 PST) and again in the early evening (about 18:42 PST), both times remaining below flood-trigger thresholds.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are expected in coastal or low-lying neighborhoods.
On 01/06/2025 (a historical Category 3 event), the tide was higher (~20.68 ft) and barometric pressure was 1020.47 hPa, along with a much higher NOAA flooding index. In contrast, for Day 2, pressure is moderate, NOAA’s flood likelihood is listed as minimal (0.0%), and tide heights remain below previous flood-event records. Thus, the risk remains within Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Continued high tides around 19.5 ft, but with stable, relatively high pressure (~1021 hPa). No risk of flooding is indicated.
WHEN
The highest tides on Day 3 are around 09:48 PST and 19:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No significant effects on roads, properties, or shorelines are foreseen.
Historical Category 3 and above flood events typically involve lower barometric pressures and tides exceeding ~20 ft, often combined with higher NOAA flood likelihood. Here, the NOAA analysis again shows minimal risk. Therefore, the forecast remains at Category 2—no flood risk.
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.
