Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach an approximate peak of around 18.9 ft midday; however, the barometric pressure remains very high (above 1029 hPa), significantly decreasing any flood threat.
WHEN
Highest tide near 12:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flood-related impacts are forecast. Low-lying roads and shoreline areas are not expected to experience flooding based on current data.
• NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for 12/15.
• Barometric pressures substantially exceed the thresholds associated with prior flood events, aligning with historical Category 1–2 conditions (no flood risk).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding anticipated. Though tides will again approach the higher range (near 18+ ft), the barometric pressure remains above 1029 hPa, dampening the potential for any coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 1:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No property or roadway flooding is expected.
• NOAA maintains a 0.0% flood likelihood for 12/16.
• Tides, although significant, remain below the levels commonly observed in historical Category 3 or 4 events, especially with such high atmospheric pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The tidal peaks (approximately 19 ft) occur in the early morning and again around afternoon, but barometric pressure readings remain relatively high (above 1023 hPa).
WHEN
Highest tides near 4:54 AM and 2:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding impacts.
• NOAA’s analysis continues to show a 0.0% flood likelihood for 12/17.
• Although the high tide is considerable, it is not near the higher-risk thresholds seen in historical Category 3+ events, given the elevated atmospheric pressure.
