Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will peak around 20 feet in the morning (06:30) and mid-afternoon (15:48) with high barometric pressure readings (above 1023 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is low at 1.2%. Overall, no risk of flooding is expected given these conditions.
WHEN
Highest tides near 06:30 AM and 03:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of roads or low-lying areas. Typical daily coastal conditions expected.
• The barometric pressure around 1024-1028 hPa is well above the lower-pressure levels historically associated with coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood (1.2%) is far lower than levels seen in historical minor flood events.
• Winds mainly from the south (SSW) around 15-23 mph; not the W/NW direction that tends to push more water onshore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide levels again approaching 20 feet around 07:00 AM and 04:24 PM PST. Barometric pressure remains very high (1028+ hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is low at 2.3%. There is no substantial risk of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides near 07:00 AM and 04:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding. Typical higher-than-average water levels at the shoreline during high tide, but no inundation of roads or properties.
• Almost identical conditions to Day 1, but with slightly higher NOAA flood likelihood (2.3%), still categorized as low.
• Past Category 3 or Category 4 floods had both significantly lower pressure and higher NOAA likelihood. This forecast pressure is much higher, reducing flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides forecast near 20 feet at approximately 07:30 AM and 05:06 PM PST. Barometric pressure is still relatively high (about 1021-1022 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is low at 2.1%. Conditions do not indicate flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides near 07:30 AM and 05:06 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding in low-lying areas anticipated. Standard coastal conditions expected during high tides.
• Although the tide height approaches the 20-foot range, both historical comparisons and the low NOAA flood likelihood indicate little to no flooding threat.
• Pressure remains well above the 992.8 hPa range historically linked with flooding.
• Southerly wind flow is not typically associated with the most severe coastal flood scenarios in the Redondo area.
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.
