Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The morning high tide (approximately 19.94 ft) is below typical flood thresholds, and the barometric pressure (around 1026 hPa) remains high, further reducing flood potential.
WHEN
Peak tide near 09:36 AM PST and another high tide near 06:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas, parks, and roads are not expected to flood under these conditions.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is very low (0.6%).
• Historical significant floods in Redondo Beach have generally occurred with lower barometric pressures (< 1016 hPa) and tide heights exceeding 20 ft.
• By comparison, the 12/27/2022 Category 5 event had both a higher tide of over 22 ft and a substantially lower barometric pressure of 978.4 hPa.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although the tide will again approach around 19.59 ft, the accompanying high pressure (approximately 1030 hPa) continues to mitigate any flood threat.
WHEN
Peak tide near 10:24 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding or notable coastal impacts are anticipated. Road closures and property damage are not expected under these stable weather conditions.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is very low (0.1%).
• Conditions remain unfavorable for flood development compared to notable historical Category 3–5 events, which typically involved lower barometric pressures, higher tides, and higher NOAA flood likelihoods.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The highest tide (near 19.25 ft) is below the 20+ ft levels often associated with coastal flooding, and the barometric pressure is expected to be even higher (about 1034 hPa), further reducing any flood concerns.
WHEN
Peak tide near 11:18 AM PST, with an additional high tide in the late evening around 09:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding or property impacts are foreseen. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is minimal (0.0%).
• Compared with historical events such as 12/27/2022 (Category 5), the forecast tides are lower, and the barometric pressure is significantly higher, considerably reducing the potential for 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.
