Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. The predicted high tides (peaking around 18.6 ft) coincide with relatively high barometric pressure (~1016–1019 hPa). Based on historical comparisons, these conditions suggest no substantial flood risk.
WHEN
Primary high tides occur near 04:06 AM PST and 12:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding is anticipated. Minor ponding in very low-lying spots is possible, but no property damage is expected.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-01-14 is 0.0%, indicating minimal risk.
• Barometric pressures are well above the historically low values typically observed during flood events.
• Wind speeds are light, further reducing the likelihood of coastal inundation.
• Historical Category 3 or higher events generally featured lower pressures (near or below ~1006 hPa) and higher NOAA flood likelihood scores.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flood impacts are expected. Although one of the forecast high tides may reach near 19.2 ft, the barometric pressure remains high (around 1023–1027 hPa), which mitigates surge-related flood concerns.
WHEN
Primary high tide periods around 04:42 AM PST and 01:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No known flooding concerns for shoreline or low-lying properties.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-01-15 is 0.0%.
• Historically, similar or lower tide heights with high pressure have produced no flood issues.
• Wind directions and speeds do not indicate onshore flow capable of driving surge.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected despite slightly higher predicted tide levels (near 19.5 ft). The barometric pressure remains very high (~1027 hPa), further lowering flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 05:12 AM PST and 02:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding is anticipated.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-01-16 remains low (0.1%).
• The high barometric pressure is well above the critical low-pressure thresholds commonly associated with moderate or severe coastal flooding.
• Compared to historical Category 4 and 5 flood events (pressure <1016 hPa and tides above ~20 ft), the current scenario shows less risk.
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.
