Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impacts anticipated. Even though high tide levels will be moderately elevated (peaking near 18.8 ft around mid-morning), the barometric pressure is well above the critical low-pressure threshold (around 1010–1013 hPa), significantly reducing the chance of coastal flooding. NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around 01:48 AM and 11:12 AM PST.
IMPACTS
• No known flooding expected at this time.
• Low-lying roads, beaches, and parks should remain unaffected.
Comparison with past events shows that historically higher flood categories occurred at tide levels exceeding 19 feet combined with substantially lower barometric pressure (below ~992.8 hPa). Current forecasts show both barometric pressure and NOAA flood likelihood well outside the typical range for flood conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No appreciable flood risk. Projected high tides near 18.3–18.4 ft coincide with relatively high pressures (1016–1017 hPa). NOAA’s forecast again registers a 0.0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Main high-tide periods are around 03:12 AM and 11:54 AM PST.
IMPACTS
• No threat expected to property or roadways.
• Tidal conditions should remain well below levels typically associated with coastal flooding in this area.
Compared to historical Category 3–5 events, both tide height and barometric pressure are insufficient to generate significant flood conditions. The consistently higher pressure means storm surge effects are minimal, aligning with NOAA’s low flood likelihood assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Still no flood risk despite moderately high tides (up to ~18.6 ft) given the stable, higher pressure readings (around 1015–1017 hPa). NOAA continues to show a 0.0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide levels occur near 04:06 AM and 12:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS
• No anticipated flooding or damage.
• Access roads and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
Although the tidal height is notable, the barometric pressure remains far from historically low-pressure systems that correlate with coastal flood events. With NOAA indicating minimal flood likelihood and no significant onshore winds forecast, no flooding is expected.
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.
