Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on this day despite moderately high tides. Barometric pressure remains significantly elevated, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is very low, indicating minimal potential for coastal inundation.
WHEN
Minor tidal peaks around the early morning (approximately 05:42 AM PST) and mid-afternoon (around 03:00 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No notable impacts. Shorelines and low-lying areas are not expected to experience flooding at these levels. Normal marine conditions should prevail.
• High barometric pressure (above 1027 hPa) reduces the chance of flooding considerably.
• Tides reaching around 19–20 ft are below the levels observed in past Category 3+ events, and the NOAA Flood Likelihood is only 0.3%.
• Compared to historical events (for example, 01/06/2025, which had significantly higher flood likelihood and lower barometric pressure), today’s conditions pose no substantial flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. A combination of very high barometric pressure (forecast near or above 1033 hPa) and only moderate tidal heights supports minimal flood potential.
WHEN
Tidal peaks mainly in the afternoon (about 03:42 PM PST) and later evening (around 08:24 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or damage. Marine activities and shoreline areas should experience normal conditions without threats of inundation.
• The highest tide on this day does not coincide with low pressure, so the risk is negligible.
• NOAA reports a 0.6% flood likelihood, which remains extremely low compared to flood-prone historical events.
• Winds are light and not predominantly from the W/NW, further reducing any wind-driven surge risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is indicated. Although tides briefly approach higher levels around early morning (near 06:24 AM PST) and late afternoon (about 04:24 PM PST), barometric pressure remains high, and NOAA’s flood likelihood stays low.
WHEN
Mainly during the early morning high tide and again in the late afternoon.
IMPACTS
No impacts. Normal coastal conditions expected throughout the day, with stable weather patterns and little possibility of tidal overflow.
• Despite tides nearing 20 ft, sustained barometric pressure around 1032+ hPa strongly lowers flood risk.
• NOAA’s 0.8% flood likelihood is still far below the thresholds observed in historical flood events, aligning with no practical threat of inundation.
• Light winds and calm seas contrast sharply with higher-category historical flooding conditions.
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.
