Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide levels may reach around 19.7 ft, which is below the 21 ft threshold historically observed for flood events.
WHEN
Mainly around early morning (near 05:36 AM PST) and then late afternoon (16:24 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding or property damage is anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations will occur without significant inundation in low-lying areas.
• Barometric pressures on 02/17 (ranging from ~1017.48 to 1026.42 hPa) are relatively high compared to past flood events, reducing the risk.
• NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date, aligning with the absence of severe weather indicators.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., Category 3 or 4 events) involved either higher tides above 21 ft or much lower barometric pressures, which are not present here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding again. Tides peak near 19.9 ft—still below the typical flood threshold.
WHEN
Highest tides will be around 05:54 AM PST and later in the evening (21:54 PM PST).
IMPACTS
Minimal to no impacts are expected for coastal or low-lying areas.
• Barometric pressure readings remain moderate to high (1017.96 hPa early, ~1011.67 hPa later), well above the ~992 hPa range seen in severe events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.2%, indicating very low concern.
• Wind speeds are generally light, and no key wind-direction factors that have historically exacerbated flooding are forecast.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Tide heights will briefly approach ~20.1 ft but remain below critical levels for coastal flooding.
WHEN
High tides occur around 06:18 AM PST and 18:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding or disruption to normal activities is anticipated.
• The barometric pressure (around 1007.07 hPa early and near 1006.5 hPa late) is not low enough to raise flood concerns when paired with the current tide forecast.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.5%, still well within a no-risk zone.
• Compared with past Category 3+ flooding, these tides are lower than the 21+ ft margin generally linked to property-impacting floods.
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.
