Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will rise to around 19.5 ft, which is elevated but below historic flood thresholds. Barometric pressure near 1018 hPa is relatively high, reducing the chance of any coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide is anticipated around 5:18 AM PST and again in the mid-afternoon around 3:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are expected. Minor ponding in very low-lying areas near the shore is possible, but widespread flooding is not anticipated.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is reported as Low (0.0%).
• Compared to higher-category historical events, today’s barometric pressure is notably higher and the tide is below the critical 21 ft level.
• Winds remain moderate, and there is no strong onshore flow exacerbating conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The tide height may reach around 19.6 ft in the early morning, and barometric pressures remain moderate to high (about 1015.88 hPa at the peak).
WHEN
Peak tides near 5:36 AM PST and again late afternoon around 4:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Minimal coastal impacts. Shoreline areas may experience very minor overwash in spots directly adjacent to the water, but inland flooding is unlikely.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains Low (0.0%).
• A calm wind profile reduces the potential for storm surge or additional wave run-up.
• Historical comparisons show significantly lower risk than Category 3 or higher events due to higher pressure and tidal levels below typical flooding thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the tide could approach 19.9 ft, barometric pressure of 1017–1015 hPa prevents significant coastal flooding.
WHEN
Primary high tides around 5:54 AM PST and late evening near 9:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Little to no flooding impact is anticipated. Only localized, very minor pooling of water in low-lying areas is possible.
• NOAA reports a Low (0.2%) flood likelihood, which remains well below concerning thresholds.
• Comparison to historical Category 4–5 floods reveals that those events involved lower pressure (below 992.8 hPa) and tides exceeding 21 ft—conditions not present here.
• Winds are moderate, with no strong onshore component to significantly raise water levels.
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.
