Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Tides will reach around 20.17 ft late in the day, but high barometric pressure near 1025 hPa and very low NOAA flood likelihood (1.8%) suggest no substantial inundation concerns.
WHEN
The highest tides will occur near midday (around 1:30 PM PST), but conditions are not expected to pose a flood threat.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal beach and waterfront activities can proceed without major concerns.
• Compared to past Category 3 events (e.g., 01/06/2025 with a 20.68 ft tide and lower barometric pressure), today’s tide is slightly lower and the pressure higher, greatly reducing the risk.
• NOAA’s low (1.8%) flood likelihood supports a minimal flood potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Similar to Day 1, no risk of coastal flooding is expected. Tide peaks may briefly exceed 20.2 ft, but atmospheric pressure remains relatively high (around 1022 hPa), and NOAA flood likelihood is still quite low (3.6%).
WHEN
Highest tides occur midday to early afternoon but should remain below thresholds that have historically produced flooding.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding concerns. Low-lying coastal areas are not expected to be affected.
• Although the tide height is comparable to certain historical moderate events, the barometric pressure here is markedly higher.
• Past Category 3 floods typically involved lower pressure or notably higher NOAA flood likelihood.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. While projected tide heights approach 20.15 ft, barometric pressure (about 1020–1021 hPa) remains well above critical low-pressure thresholds, and NOAA flood likelihood remains low (3.4%).
WHEN
Highest risk timeframe would be mid-afternoon (around 2:30 PM PST), but overall conditions do not support flooding.
IMPACTS
No adverse impacts anticipated along coastal areas or low-lying properties.
• In past flooding incidents (Categories 4 and 5), both the tide and low barometric pressure were more extreme.
• NOAA’s low flood likelihood further indicates minimal risk, aligning with the higher observed pressures and moderate wind speeds.
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.
