Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Observed tide heights, while moderately high, remain below thresholds that have historically led to flooding.
*WHEN
Through the morning high tide period (around 10:06 AM) and again near the afternoon high tide (around 4:18 PM).
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas, roads, and beaches should not experience flooding conditions under these forecasts.
• Barometric pressure remains around 1018–1019 hPa, which is relatively high and not conducive to significant storm surge.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is reported as 0% for this date, further supporting a minimal flood threat.
• Even though tides approach the higher end of normal, the lack of stormy conditions and higher pressure indicates no notable flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. High tide levels remain notably below thresholds historically tied to damaging coastal flooding events.
WHEN
Highest tide around the early morning (approximately 2:48 AM) and again late in the morning near 11:06 AM.
IMPACTS
No coastal inundation or property damage is anticipated. Normal tide fluctuations are expected without significant wind-driven surge.
• Barometric pressure is forecast to be around 1018–1020 hPa, which is considerably above critical low-pressure levels.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0% for this date, aligning well with the benign weather pattern and minimal storm influence.
• Winds are generally from the north or northeast, not from the west/northwest directions that can exacerbate tidal flooding in this area.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding concerns anticipated, despite slightly higher tide levels in the early morning (around 3:30 AM) and midday (12:12 PM).
WHEN
Elevated tides are expected in the early morning hours and again around noon; however, these remain below historical flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
Coastal areas should experience normal tidal ebb and flow with no property damage or road closures expected.
• The barometric pressure is projected to drop slightly to around 1011–1014 hPa during peak tides but stays well above the historically low pressures (e.g., near 992.8 hPa) associated with major flood events.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0% for this day, consistent with the forecast pressure and wind conditions.
• Although this day’s high tides may reach the upper range seen in normal circumstances (around 18+ feet), there is no reinforcing factor (e.g., strong onshore wind, significantly low pressure) to elevate flood 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.
