Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will reach nearly 19.7 ft but with a very high barometric pressure of around 1028.8 hPa and a low NOAA flood likelihood (0.0%). Overall, no substantial flood risk is expected.
WHEN
Highest risk period near high tide around 08:18 PST.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts to property or travel are anticipated. Local shorelines may see typical high tide levels but are not expected to flood.
Comparing these conditions to past events shows that, despite relatively high tidal levels, the barometric pressure is significantly higher than in historical flood scenarios, and NOAA indicates no flood likelihood. This places Day 1 in Category 2, reflecting no risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Two higher tides are expected, reaching around 19.2 ft in the morning and about 16.4 ft late in the evening, both under pressure readings above 1017 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0.0%.
WHEN
Morning high tide peaks near 08:48 PST; the secondary high tide around 23:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding concerns are anticipated; normal high-tide impacts along the shoreline may be observed without inundation.
The barometric pressure remains relatively high (above 1017 hPa), and historical data shows that comparable tide levels with such pressures typically do not produce flooding. Thus, Day 2 is classified under Category 2 (no risk of flooding).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Peak tide near 09:24 PST (about 19+ ft) and a secondary afternoon high tide. Barometric pressure around 1016 hPa is still far higher than the critical flood threshold (around 992.8 hPa). NOAA flood likelihood remains 0.0%.
WHEN
Main high tide around 09:24 PST; a lesser afternoon high tide near 15:36 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Regular high tide conditions with minimal risk to nearby infrastructure or transit routes.
Even though the morning tide is quite high, the combination of continued high atmospheric pressure and zero NOAA flood likelihood indicates minimal flood hazard. By comparison to more severe historical events involving much lower pressure and higher NOAA-intensity forecasts, Day 3 remains in Category 2.
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.
