Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will peak around 19.76 ft in the early morning hours, but with notably high barometric pressure well above 1020 hPa, the conditions do not align with flood risk scenarios.
WHEN
Highest water levels will occur near 04:24 AM.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Typical tidal fluctuations may briefly affect very low-lying spots, but no flooding is expected.
• Barometric pressure is around 1031–1036 hPa, which is significantly higher than historical flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains very low (0.1%), and the tide height is below the 20.68 ft observed in prior Category 3 events.
• Winds are light and from a northerly direction, reducing any additional push of sea water toward shore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding anticipated. The highest tide near 19.91 ft at dawn does not approach the thresholds seen in past notable flood events.
WHEN
High tide levels peak around 04:48 AM.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Travel and daily activities can continue as normal in coastal areas.
• Barometric pressure remains high (around 1033–1037 hPa), indicating stable weather conditions.
• Compared to historical Category 4 or 5 events, both tide height and pressure are well outside the flood-risk range.
• NOAA continues to rate flood likelihood as low (0.3%), reinforcing minimal coastal flood concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Likewise, no significant flooding risk. Although the highest tide could approach 19.96 ft in the early morning, accompanying pressure remains high, limiting the potential for coastal flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide is near 05:12 AM.
IMPACTS
No measurable flooding expected. Minor ponding in extremely low-lying or poor-drainage areas might be possible, but no widespread issues are forecast.
• Barometric pressure dips slightly compared to Days 1 and 2 (around 1025–1028 hPa), but this is still well above critical low-pressure flood thresholds.
• NOAA’s stated probability of flooding is only 0.3%, with the tide level still below more serious historical benchmarks.
• Winds remain moderate and from the south/southwest; not strong enough to generate significant storm surge.
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.
