Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding for today. Tide heights are forecast to reach around 19.5 ft in the late morning, but barometric pressure remains relatively high (about 1022 hPa), and NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Key high tides occur near 09:48 AM and 07:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Shorelines and low-lying roads should remain clear.
Although the tide height is moderate, it is still below historical flooding benchmarks. Compared to significant events (like 12/27/2022 with much higher tide and much lower pressure), current conditions do not support flooding. NOAA’s forecast data shows a negligible flood chance, reinforcing the Category 2 assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While the late morning tide could again approach the upper teens (around 19.5 ft), barometric pressure near 1016 hPa remains well above the critical low threshold for storm-driven flooding.
WHEN
Key high tides occur near 10:30 AM and 09:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No inundation of low-lying areas is anticipated. Normal coastal conditions are expected.
Historical Category 4 events (e.g., 12/18/2024) had similar or slightly lower barometric pressure but higher tide levels (over 20 ft) along with stronger winds. Today’s conditions do not align with those more serious scenarios. NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains 0.0%.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding despite slightly higher tides (around 19.6 ft). Pressure around 1011–1012 hPa is still nowhere near the critical ~992 hPa that would heighten coastal flooding concerns.
WHEN
Key high tides occur near 11:12 AM and 10:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. Roads, beaches, and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
Although barometric pressure is somewhat lower than on previous days, it remains far above the threshold traditionally linked with coastal flood events. NOAA’s forecast indicates only a 0.1% flood likelihood, confirming minimal concern.
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 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
