Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the tide will reach around 18.8 ft, the barometric pressure is relatively high (1010–1013 hPa), which reduces the likelihood of any flood impacts.
WHEN
Peaking near midday (highest tide around 11:12 AM PST).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Coastal walkways and very low-lying areas may note slightly higher water levels, but no flooding of concern is expected.
Historical Category 3 or higher events typically involve tides exceeding ~19–20 ft combined with notably lower barometric pressures than seen here. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for this date is 0.0%, further reinforcing the minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tide heights are projected around 18.3–18.4 ft, with barometric pressure above 1014 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs late morning (around 11:54 AM PST).
IMPACTS
Again, no notable flooding issues are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations should prevail with minimal effect on shorelines or infrastructure.
Compared to past Category 3 events, the forecast tide levels remain below the historical flooding range and barometric pressure remains well above the critical low threshold (~992.8 hPa). NOAA data indicates 0.0% flood likelihood.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides peak near 18.6 ft. Barometric pressure (around 1016 hPa) remains high enough to suppress flood risk.
WHEN
Early morning (around 4:06 AM PST) and midday (around 12:42 PM PST) show the highest tides, neither of which is expected to cause flooding.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Any water encroachment along beaches will be typical for high tide events, with no flooding concerns.
Despite relatively elevated tidal levels, both historical precedent and NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood confirm that these conditions are insufficient to produce coastal flooding. All barometric readings are well above the lower-pressure benchmarks historically associated with significant flood events.
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.
