Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected at this time. While a relatively high tide of around 19 feet will occur, barometric pressure readings (approximately 1019–1020 hPa) remain well above historically flood-prone levels, and NOAA indicates a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near mid-morning (around 08:54 AM PST) and again in the early evening (around 06:36 PM PST), with stable barometric pressure throughout the day.
IMPACTS
No immediate impacts are anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas. Road closures and property damage are unlikely.
Compared with past events, the tide height on 02/24 is below critical thresholds observed in Category 3–5 historical floods, and the barometric pressure is significantly higher than during severe flood events. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis for this date is 0% with a comfortable margin below the usual flood threshold.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk. A tide approaching 19.5 feet is expected, but the barometric pressure (~1013 hPa) is still not sufficiently low to produce flooding. NOAA’s forecast continues to show minimal flood likelihood for this date.
WHEN
Most notable high tides around 09:48 AM PST and 07:54 PM PST; however, neither is expected to produce flooding conditions given the relatively higher pressure.
IMPACTS
No major impacts are expected. Low-lying areas along the waterfront should not experience notable inundation.
Even though the midday tide is slightly higher than Day 1, the pressure is well above the thresholds linked to prior flood events (e.g., below 1002 hPa). Historical Category 3 events involved both higher tides (often 20+ feet) and lower barometric pressures. NOAA reports a 0% flood likelihood for 02/25, supporting a no-flood forecast.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk. Tides near 17–18 feet are combined with very high barometric pressure readings (1030–1032 hPa), which essentially negates typical coastal flood triggers.
WHEN
Key high tides during the early morning (around 02:18 AM PST) and late afternoon (around 04:24 PM PST), both under stable high pressure.
IMPACTS
No flooding or property damage is expected. Normal marine activity should not be affected.
Although local tide heights exceed 16 feet, high pressure this strong has historically correlated with minimal chance of overl and flooding. NOAA’s ongoing projection places 02/26 at 0% flood likelihood, again falling well short of relevant thresholds.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any updates, but at this time, no protective measures against flooding appear necessary. Those living or working near the shoreline should remain informed by following local advisories.
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.
