Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although the morning high tide reaches around 20.2 ft, the barometric pressure is extremely high (near 1034.75 hPa), which counteracts the tide height. NOAA’s flood likelihood is low (3.1%), further indicating minimal flood risk.
WHEN
Primary high-tide periods of interest:
• Around 09:00 PST and again near 22:30 PST
IMPACTS
No anticipated impacts. Low-lying areas and shorelines should remain protected from any tidal inundation under these conditions.
Historical moderate flood events typically coincide with significantly lower barometric pressures (below 1006 hPa). In comparison, today’s readings remain too high to allow notable coastal flooding. Wind speeds and directions are also calmer (predominantly light and variable), adding little onshore push.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The highest tide (near 19.5 ft) is well below historic flood thresholds when paired with a barometric pressure around 1026–1027 hPa. NOAA’s forecast shows a very low (0.6%) chance of any flood occurrence.
WHEN
Primary high-tide times:
• Approximately 09:36 PST and 18:48 PST
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding is expected. Transportation routes and coastal properties will likely see no interruptions due to tides.
Even though tide levels approach those seen in past Category 3 events, the significantly higher barometric pressure reduces the overall risk. Historical Category 3–4 floods rarely occur with pressures above ~1020 hPa, and NOAA’s official likelihood remains minimal.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides may briefly reach about 19.5–19.6 ft around midday, but barometric pressure remains elevated (above 1027 hPa) and NOAA flood likelihood falls to near 0.1%.
WHEN
Look to the midnight to early-morning high tide (around 00:24 PST) and another around 10:24 PST.
IMPACTS
No damage or significant shoreline flooding is anticipated. Coastal roads, parks, and low-lying regions should remain clear.
Day 3 conditions mirror the same pattern of high pressure, moderate tides, and calm winds. Historical flooding indicators—particularly lower barometric pressure—aren’t present, and NOAA’s daily threshold data show no appreciable risk of high-tide flooding.
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.
