Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Despite a moderately high tide (near 19.65 ft), the barometric pressure of roughly 1032 hPa is very high, and NOAA indicates a very low flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide near 04:18 AM and again midday, but without flood impacts expected.
IMPACTS
No substantial impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas, parks, and roads should remain unaffected.
Compared to historical events, the tide is below 21 ft, and the barometric pressure is considerably higher than in past flood events. NOAA’s data also shows flood likelihood near 0.1%. These conditions suggest no significant flooding issues for Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. Although the tide could rise to around 20.14 ft early in the morning, the barometric pressure remains high at about 1028 hPa, which helps limit any flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide around 05:00 AM.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are anticipated. Minimal to no shoreline or roadway inundation is expected.
Even though the tidal height approaches levels seen in some past Category 3 events, the significantly higher barometric pressure and NOAA’s reported 2.2% flood likelihood indicate that conditions should stay well below the flood threshold for Day 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is forecast. The highest tide, near 20.4 ft around 05:30 AM, is still below the 21 ft benchmark historically associated with flood concerns, and the pressure remains relatively high (about 1025 hPa).
WHEN
Peak tide in the early morning hours (approximately 05:30 AM).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts. Flooding of low-lying roads or properties is not expected.
While the tide height is close to certain previous moderate events, the barometric pressure is not low enough to enhance coastal flooding. NOAA estimates a low (1.8%) likelihood of flooding for Day 3, aligning with minimal risk.
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.
