Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial flooding is expected. Tides will reach an early-morning high of around 18.4 ft, which historically could warrant caution, but the barometric pressure is comparatively high (around 1010 hPa). NOAA’s official flood likelihood is 0.0%, indicating no risk of notable coastal flooding.
WHEN
• Highest tides near 03:36 AM and again around midday (12:12 PM).
IMPACTS
• No flooding impacts anticipated. Normal tidal influences expected with no property damage.
The tidal height of approximately 18.4 ft is somewhat elevated but remains below the levels seen in historical Category 3 or above events, especially when paired with a barometric pressure over 1000 hPa and light winds. NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood further supports no expected flood conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding is expected despite another relatively high tide, near 18.8 ft early in the morning. Barometric pressure will be around 1011 hPa. NOAA maintains a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date, suggesting no concern for coastal inundation.
WHEN
• Highest tides near 04:12 AM and around 01:12 PM.
IMPACTS
• No flooding impacts anticipated as conditions remain calm and barometric pressure stays well above the low-pressure thresholds typically associated with coastal flooding.
When compared with past events of Categories 3 and above, Day 2’s tide height does not align with the low barometric pressure or strong winds that historically contributed to flooding. Current wind directions are generally from the south, and NOAA’s flood guidance remains in the low range.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tide levels will climb close to 19 ft early in the morning, but barometric pressures around 1013–1014 hPa remain relatively high. No flooding is anticipated. NOAA projections still reflect a 0.0% flood likelihood, reinforcing minimal concern for any coastal flooding impacts.
WHEN
• Highest tides around 04:36 AM and 02:06 PM.
IMPACTS
• No flooding impacts expected. Conditions remain stable, and the overall setup suggests normal tidal patterns with no threat to property.
Although the tide reaches its highest levels of the three-day period, the key flood-driving factors—especially low barometric pressure—are absent. These stable conditions align more closely with historical non-flooding events, keeping the category at a no-risk level.
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; uncertain if major property damage will occur.
• Category 5: Likely to flood with property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
