Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. High tides (peaking near 19.6 ft) coincide with relatively moderate barometric pressure (~1017 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is reported as 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near mid-morning (around 10:30 AM).
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding is anticipated. Typical caution advised for anyone in low-lying, coastal areas.
• Tides around 19–20 ft are significant, but not exceptionally high compared to some past Category 3–4 flood events.
• Barometric pressure remains well above the low-pressure thresholds (near 992 hPa) commonly associated with coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s model indicates very low flood probability (0%). These factors all reduce the risk for a flood occurrence.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Still no substantial flood risk indicated. Tide heights continue in the mid- to upper-19 ft range, with barometric pressure around 1011–1008 hPa.
WHEN
Peak tides around late morning (near 11:12 AM) and again late evening (near 10–11 PM).
IMPACTS
Minimal to no flooding impacts are expected.
• While the barometric pressure is a bit lower than Day 1, it remains well above historic lows that typically accompany more serious flooding.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains near 0.1%, indicating very low concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Tide levels approach 19.7+ ft, but barometric pressure near 1007 hPa is not low enough to raise significant concern.
WHEN
Highest tide around midday, near 11:48 AM.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected.
• Although Day 3’s pressure drops slightly compared to Days 1–2, it is still considerably higher than the low-pressure systems associated with historical flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.1%, consistent with no meaningful flood threat.
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.
