Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. Although tide heights will reach around 19 ft near midday, these levels remain below the 21 ft threshold historically associated with flood events. Barometric pressure is extremely high (over 1034 hPa), which lessens overall flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide near 12:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Minimal or no effect on roads or low-lying properties.
NOAA’s forecasted flood likelihood for January 29 is 0.0%, indicating negligible risk. Past Category 3 or higher events in Redondo Beach involved substantially lower barometric pressures combined with comparable—or higher—tide heights.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. Tides are again below the 21 ft threshold known to contribute to coastal flooding, and barometric pressure remains very high (above 1033 hPa).
WHEN
Highest tides near 04:18 AM PST and 01:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. Travel and shoreline activities are unlikely to be affected.
NOAA assigns only a 0.1% flood likelihood for January 30. Historically, events classified as Category 4 or higher involved much lower atmospheric pressures or higher surge levels. Current conditions do not align with those risk factors.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected, even though the early morning tide height approaches 20 ft. The barometric pressure near 1028 hPa remains sufficiently high to keep this from reaching flood thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No expected roadway or property impacts. Beach areas and low-lying zones should remain clear of rising waters.
While NOAA projects a slightly higher (2.2%) flood likelihood on January 31 compared to previous days, this remains quite low. Historical Category 3 events had both higher flood likelihood percentages and lower barometric pressures. Conditions do not suggest any significant flooding concerns over the next three days.
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.
