Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated on Day 1. Tides are forecast to peak around 18–19 ft (near 09:24 AM local time) with relatively high barometric pressure (~1017–1018 hPa). NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood, so conditions do not meet historical flood thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:24 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding expected. Low-lying areas along the coastline should experience normal tidal conditions without coastal inundation issues.
• Historical Category 3+ events generally happened with tide heights above 20 ft and/or much lower barometric pressure (<1006 hPa).
• Current forecasts show higher barometric pressures and moderate tide levels well below severe thresholds.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood for 2026-02-09 remains low at 0.0%, reinforcing minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flood risk expected on Day 2. Projected tide peaks remain under 19 ft with barometric pressure near or above 1018 hPa, and NOAA continues to indicate a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Greatest tidal height around 10:06 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Beachfront roads and low-lying coastal areas are likely to remain unaffected.
• Conditions remain calmer than those typically associated with prior Category 3 or higher flood events.
• Winds are relatively light, reducing the chance of tide-driven surges.
• Comparisons to historical data underline that neither tide height (under ~20 ft) nor barometric pressure (well above ~1002 hPa) suggests imminent flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood potential on Day 3. Tides are forecast below 18 ft and barometric pressure is still fairly high (~1016–1018 hPa). NOAA’s reported flood likelihood remains 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 11:06 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No coastal inundation is expected. Normal tidal variations with minimal or no impact on local infrastructure.
• This day’s conditions (tides under ~18 ft, relatively high atmospheric pressure) are well outside the range of our historical flooding benchmarks.
• Winds do not appear strong enough, nor from a direction, to significantly amplify wave action at shorelines.
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.
