Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Moderately high morning tides nearing 20 ft are expected. Given the relatively high barometric pressure (around 1020.58 hPa) and a low NOAA flood likelihood (2.1%), no significant flooding is anticipated.
WHEN
Peak conditions around the morning high tide, approximately 07:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding impacts are expected. Shorelines and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• Tide heights near 20.14 ft, but pressure remains fairly high, reducing flood potential.
• NOAA’s reported flood threshold distance (-1.06 m) suggests levels remain below problem elevations.
• Historically, higher flood risk events had much lower pressure or higher NOAA likelihood.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will again approach 20 ft during the morning high tide period. Barometric pressure is even higher (about 1021.93 hPa), and NOAA flood likelihood remains low (3.6%), so flooding is not expected.
WHEN
Mainly around the morning high tide, near 08:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No coastal flood impacts anticipated. Normal coastal conditions are expected.
• Tides near 20.2 ft, but still below the main flood trigger levels from historical Category 3 or higher events.
• Pressure above 1020 hPa historically correlates with low flood risk.
• NOAA data indicates minimal probability (3.6%) of any flooding event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tide heights may climb slightly above 20 ft but will coincide with even higher barometric pressure (about 1026.59 hPa). NOAA assigns a 3.0% likelihood of flooding, which remains low.
WHEN
Peak tidal levels around 08:30 AM PST and again late in the evening (18:48 PST).
IMPACTS
No direct flood impacts are expected; conditions should remain well below significant flood thresholds.
• Despite tides reaching approximately 20.26 ft, strong high pressure (around 1026.59 hPa) greatly reduces the chance of flooding.
• Historical Category 3+ events typically involve lower barometric readings or higher NOAA flood likelihood percentages.
• NOAA’s distance to threshold (-0.97 m) confirms levels remain comfortably below flooding criteria.
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.
