Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides will approach about 20.04 ft near midday, but barometric pressure is relatively high (around 1022–1024 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date is low (1.8%), indicating no coastal flooding is expected.
WHEN
Highest tide near 12:54 PST on 2025-12-01.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding is anticipated. Low-lying areas are unlikely to experience inundation as pressure conditions remain stable and winds are minimal.
Comparing to historical flooding:
• Previous Category 3 events (e.g., 20.68 ft tide, ~1020 hPa, NOAA ~11% likelihood) involved significantly higher flood risk factors.
• Current barometric pressure is higher, and NOAA’s 1.8% likelihood is much lower, reinforcing minimal flood potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides could reach around 20.17 ft early in the afternoon with pressure near 1025 hPa. The NOAA flood likelihood remains at 1.8%, again signaling no risk of flood impacts based on historically similar events.
WHEN
Highest tide near 13:30 PST on 2025-12-02.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding concerns. Low-lying spots may see normal high water, but conditions do not point to inundation issues.
• Historical Category 4–5 events featured significantly lower pressure (e.g., ~992–1016 hPa) and higher flood-likelihood percentages.
• Even though tide heights are considerable, combined data indicate no notable rise beyond normal high-tide levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tidal heights may briefly approach or exceed 20.21 ft in the early afternoon, but pressure remains in a higher range (around 1022 hPa). NOAA’s slightly elevated 3.6% likelihood is still considered low.
WHEN
Highest tide around 14:00–14:06 PST on 2025-12-03.
IMPACTS
No flooding issues are expected. Minor water level increases near typical high-tide shoreline boundaries only.
• Although tides are near some past moderate events, today’s supporting conditions—higher pressure and low flood-likelihood forecasts—fall short of thresholds seen in Category 3 or higher floods.
• Winds and barometric data do not indicate the exacerbating factors needed to push water levels into a flood scenario.
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.
