Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. While the early morning high tide is relatively elevated (around 18.4 ft), barometric pressure is not near the historically low levels that have been associated with flooding. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%, indicating no active flood concerns.
WHEN
Highest tide expected near 3:30–4:00 AM PST. No significant flooding impacts forecast at this time or through the remainder of the day.
IMPACTS
• Little to no flooding expected along shorelines.
• No notable property damage or roadway impacts anticipated.
The highest tide occurs at approximately 18.4 ft, with barometric pressures around 1010 hPa—substantially higher than thresholds typically linked with flood events. For comparison, historical Category 3–5 floods featured notably lower pressures (e.g., near or below 992 hPa) and tides above 20 ft in some cases. NOAA’s data supports a low likelihood of any coastal flooding today.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Tides peak near 18.8 ft early in the morning with moderate barometric pressure (around 1009–1010 hPa), well above critical low-pressure events observed in past coastal floods. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 4:00–4:30 AM PST. No significant flooding impacts expected during the peak tide or through the day.
IMPACTS
• Minimal or no inundation in low-lying areas.
• No anticipated road closures or property issues.
Although the tide is slightly higher than on Day 1, barometric pressure remains relatively stable and well above historical flooding benchmarks. No strong onshore winds from the west/northwest are indicated. Past Category 3–4 floods typically showed higher tide levels (around or above 20 ft) and significantly lower barometric pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Even though the morning tide may briefly reach approximately 19.1 ft, barometric pressure is forecast to be comparatively high (around 1012–1013 hPa), and NOAA continues to indicate a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tide is projected around 4:30–5:00 AM PST. No significant flooding impacts are expected before, during, or after this timeframe.
IMPACTS
• No notable coastal flooding expected.
• No property damage or travel disruptions anticipated.
Historically, Category 4 and higher flood events combined higher tides (often exceeding 20 ft) with much lower barometric pressures (around or below 992.8 hPa). Today’s relatively stable pressure indicates minimal risk. Consistent with NOAA’s flood analysis, there is no strong indicator of coastal flooding this day.
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.
