Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the morning high tide will reach approximately 20.38 ft, the barometric pressure is very high (around 1028+ hPa). This significantly reduces the likelihood of any coastal flood issues.
WHEN
Highest tide near 07:24 AM.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is only 1.8%, and the distance to the minor flood threshold is -0.83 m, indicating that water levels should stay below flood levels.
• Historical comparisons reveal that similar or higher tides combined with much lower barometric pressure (close to 992.8 hPa) were needed for moderate flood events.
• Winds are light and generally from the SSE, which is not the typical direction to exacerbate local flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected again. The morning high tide will be near 20.11 ft, but the barometric pressure remains high (above 1030 hPa), continuing to minimize coastal flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide near 07:48 AM.
IMPACTS
No meaningful flood impacts expected.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood dips to 0.5%, with an even larger margin below the minor flood threshold (-1.04 m).
• History shows that Category 3 or higher events typically have lower pressure and more significant onshore wind components. Neither is present here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is anticipated. The expected peak tide near 19.70 ft coincides with a still elevated barometric pressure (~1029–1030 hPa).
WHEN
Highest tide near 08:18 AM.
IMPACTS
No property or land-based impacts forecast.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is listed as 0.0%, with the water level remaining well under the threshold.
• Compared with past notable flood events, today’s pressures are much higher and winds remain moderate from the south-southeast.
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.
