Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tide forecasts show a morning high tide nearing 19.6 ft with relatively high barometric pressure around 1022 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%, indicating no expected flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Normal tidal conditions are expected along the shoreline with no disruptions to nearby roads or property.
• Barometric pressure is well above the historic flood-event lows.
• Winds are light and do not favor onshore flow that could elevate tidal impacts.
• Historical Category 3+ flood events generally coincide with tide heights over 20 ft and significantly lower pressures.
• NOAA’s forecast supports a low flood likelihood for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Morning high tide around 19.6 ft again, but with slightly lower barometric pressure (~1015 hPa). Still, the pressure remains far above critical low-pressure thresholds, and NOAA projects 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tide near 10:30 PST, second high tide near 21:18 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Local roads, basements, and shorelines should remain unaffected.
• While the pressure drops slightly compared to Day 1, it is still much higher than levels historically associated with coastal flooding.
• The highest tides remain below 21 ft, reducing the risk of overtopping barriers or causing flood problems.
• NOAA flood likelihood for Day 2 is still low with no indication of imminent flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A marginally higher morning tide near 19.66 ft with barometric pressure around 1011 hPa. Even with this modest pressure drop, overall conditions remain well above the threshold for flood concerns. NOAA indicates only a 0.1% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak morning tide near 11:12 PST and evening tide near 22:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts anticipated. Coastal areas and low-lying roads are expected to remain clear of water intrusion.
• Although the barometric pressure is lower than preceding days, it is still not within a critical range that historically contributes to significant flooding.
• Tide levels remain short of the heights (generally over 20 ft) observed in past Category 3 or higher flood events.
• NOAA’s forecast continues to indicate a very low flood probability.
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.
