Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tides will reach approximately 19.7 feet in the morning (around 08:12 local time), but barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1016.65 hPa), and NOAA’s forecast shows a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide risk around mid-morning (roughly 07:30–09:00 PST).
IMPACTS
No notable impacts are anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas. Normal beach activity and minor wave run-up may occur, but no inundation or road closures are expected.
• Winds are generally light to moderate and do not align with previous higher-category flood events that saw stronger winds and/or very low barometric pressure.
• Historical Category 3 or 4 events typically involved lower pressures (<1006 hPa) and/or tide heights exceeding 20 ft.
• NOAA’s official guidance indicates minimal flood potential for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk expected. Morning high tide will be near 19.2 feet, with barometric pressure of about 1020.51 hPa. NOAA continues to report a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Raised tide in the late morning (approximately 08:30–09:30 PST) but still below thresholds historically associated with coastal flooding.
IMPACTS
No measurable flood impacts. Roads, beaches, and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• Winds remain relatively light.
• Compared with historical Category 3/4 flood events, both tide height and pressure suggest a markedly lower flood potential.
• NOAA’s low-flood-likelihood assessment supports the conclusion of minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No notable flooding is anticipated. The highest tide near mid-morning (around 09:48 local time) is approximately 18.4–18.5 feet, with a somewhat lower barometric pressure (~1012.63 hPa) but still well above the 992.8 hPa threshold historically correlated with higher flood risk.
WHEN
Moderate high tide events mid-morning and again in the evening (around 19:54), but neither coincides with critically low atmospheric pressure or intense winds.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected in low-lying or shoreline areas.
• Even though pressure on Day 3 is lower than on prior days, it remains considerably higher than historical major-flood benchmarks.
• NOAA’s forecast for this date continues to show a 0.0% flood likelihood.
• Tides do not exceed 20 ft, further reducing the threat of coastal overflow.
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.
