Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Although the morning high tide will reach approximately 20.2 ft, the barometric pressure is very high (around 1034.8 hPa), greatly reducing any flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No forecasted flooding of roads or nearby property. Travel or outdoor activities in low-lying coastal areas should remain unaffected.
Comparing these conditions to historical Category 3 events (for example, 01/06/2025) shows that, while the tide height is somewhat similar, the barometric pressure for this day is significantly higher. Additionally, NOAA places the daily flood likelihood at only 3.1%, well below thresholds linked to notable flood events in the past. As a result, no flooding is anticipated.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Peak tidal height of around 19.9 ft coincides with continued high pressure (~1026.6–1027.5 hPa).
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:36 PST and a secondary high tide in the early evening.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts expected. Routine activities along the coast should proceed without disruption.
Historical data suggests that tides under about 21 ft, especially when barometric pressure is well above 1000 hPa, rarely produce significant flooding. NOAA’s flood likelihood for the day is only 0.6%, reinforcing a very low flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The forecasted high tide is around 19.3 ft, with pressure remaining high at about 1028.6 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tide near 10:24 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated. Shoreline and road conditions are expected to remain normal.
With NOAA’s flood likelihood at 0.1% and a tide level below 20 ft, conditions are not conducive to any discernible flooding. Historically, severe events required both higher tides (above 21 ft) and much lower barometric pressure.
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.
