Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No notable flooding is expected. Although the tide will approach 20 ft around mid-day, the barometric pressure is relatively high (approximately 1018 hPa), and NOAA’s daily flood likelihood is low at 2.0%.
WHEN
Peak tide near 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
Historically, flooding concerns in Redondo Beach are most pronounced when tides exceed 21 ft under significantly lower barometric pressure (under ~1000 hPa). Today’s conditions do not align with these critical factors (pressure is higher and NOAA flood likelihood is minimal), indicating no substantial flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no notable flooding is expected. The high tide around midday is near 20 ft, but the barometric pressure is even higher (above 1031 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains low at 1.8%.
WHEN
Peak tide near midday (11:30 AM–12:30 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected under these conditions.
Compared with past Category 3 and 4 flood events, today’s barometric pressure is considerably higher, greatly reducing the potential for coastal inundation despite elevated tide levels. NOAA’s forecasts also confirm a low probability of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides may reach close to 20 ft, but barometric pressure is projected to stay high (around 1031 hPa), with NOAA’s daily flood likelihood at only 1.3%.
WHEN
Highest tide from roughly 12:00 PM–1:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Minimal or no impacts to shoreline and waterfront properties.
Historical data show that significant flooding typically requires both low pressure and higher tides (often exceeding 21 ft). The current conditions—high pressure combined with NOAA’s very low flood likelihood—suggest no risk of flooding.
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.
