Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on January 11. Although tides will be relatively high (around 19 ft), barometric pressure remains well above 992.8 hPa, and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide forecast near 10:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas along the shoreline should remain unaffected with no property damage expected.
• The maximum tide height of approximately 19 ft is below historical flooding thresholds (typically near or above 20–21 ft when combined with lower pressures).
• Barometric pressure readings (~1017 hPa) are too high to support significant coastal flood risk.
• NOAA’s forecast shows a margin of over 1.9 m below the flood threshold.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on January 12. Tides will peak near 18.8 ft, and barometric pressure is forecast above the critical low-pressure benchmarks.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 11:12 AM PST and 01:48 AM PST, both under stable pressure conditions (~1013–1010 hPa).
IMPACTS
No known flooding impacts. Low-lying roads and areas along the coast should be minimally affected, with no significant inundation projected.
• Tide heights, though moderately high, remain below the 20 ft benchmark often seen in more concerning flood events.
• Pressures are not low enough (well above 992.8 hPa) to amplify storm surge risk.
• NOAA provides a 0.0% flood likelihood, suggesting only routine tidal fluctuations.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding risks are forecast on January 13. Tides may reach about 18.0 ft near midday, but barometric pressure remains relatively high (~1015 hPa), and NOAA maintains a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Main high tide near 10:54–11:54 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No expected flood-related issues for property or roadways.
• Tide data around 18 ft does not align with higher-risk flood events, which historically have been closer to or beyond 20 ft.
• Compared with past Category 3–5 floods, the current pressure conditions and NOAA threshold data indicate a comfortable margin below flood levels.
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.
