Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will peak just below 20 feet near late morning (around 11:12 AM) accompanied by a relatively high barometric pressure (near 1030 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is only 0.6%, indicating no substantial risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides are expected late morning through midday.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are expected. Minor ponding may occur in very low-lying areas, but inundation above normal high tide levels is unlikely.
• Barometric pressure is very high compared to previous flood events, reducing the chance of any coastal inundation.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., Category 3 events in the 20.5+ foot range with lower pressure) suggest conditions fall below flood thresholds.
• Winds remain light and primarily out of the south, offering minimal onshore push.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Another high tide near 19.5 feet around midday, paired with high atmospheric pressure (~1023–1028 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is only 0.1%, again indicating no risk of flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide and any minor effects will occur around late morning to midday.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Slight rises may occur close to shorelines, but conditions remain well below typical flood thresholds.
• Tide heights remain under 21 feet and are coupled with relatively high barometric pressure.
• Historic moderate flood events typically involve significantly lower pressure and higher tides than forecast here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides around 19.2 feet near midday, with pressure around 1013–1017 hPa. Although barometric pressure is lower than previous days, it is still well above the critical threshold (~992.8 hPa) historically associated with more severe flooding. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
Peak water levels will occur near midday.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are expected. Tides will remain below critical flood levels, and minimal onshore winds further reduce flood chances.
• Slightly lower barometric pressure compared to Days 1 and 2, but still not near the levels typically linked to coastal flooding.
• Tide levels remain below the 21-foot range that has historically correlated with more serious flood concerns.
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; uncertainty in major property damage.
• Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
