Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-12-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Moderately high midday tides approaching 19.5 ft are expected. However, barometric pressure is high (around 1023.68 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood is very low (0.1%), indicating no significant risk of coastal flooding.

WHEN
Highest tides around late morning to midday on 2025-12-13.

IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated. Minimal to no impacts in low-lying areas under current conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

These tide levels, though noticeable, compare to past minor events where similarly elevated tides coincided with higher barometric pressure and did not produce flood damage. Winds from the SSE at relatively low speeds reinforce minimal concern.


Day 2: 2025-12-14

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Tides will again be elevated, near 19 ft around midday. Barometric pressure near 1014 hPa is not sufficiently low to raise flood concerns, and NOAA’s forecasted flood likelihood is less than 0.1%.

WHEN
Midday on 2025-12-14.

IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Although the tide heights are moderately high, the combination of only slightly lower pressure (compared to Day 1) and low wind speeds does not resemble conditions historically linked with notable flooding.


Day 3: 2025-12-15

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
High tide near 18.9 ft around midday. Barometric pressure remains high (approximately 1025.47 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood is also at 0.0%.

WHEN
Late morning to midday on 2025-12-15.

IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The significant barometric pressure difference from documented flood events (which typically involved very low pressure) and the low NOAA flood likelihood suggest no risk of coastal flooding on Day 3.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
