Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide levels are expected to reach around 19.6 feet early in the morning under relatively high atmospheric pressure (above 1029 hPa). NOAA projections indicate 0% flood likelihood, signaling no risk of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:30 AM to 07:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected. Coastal areas, roads, and properties are not anticipated to experience inundation.
Despite somewhat elevated tide heights (approaching the high teens in feet), barometric pressures are significantly higher than in historical flood events, which lowers flood potential. Comparisons to past Category 3 or 4 events show substantially lower atmospheric pressure in those cases. NOAA data reinforces a low likelihood of any coastal flooding today.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Morning high tide forecast near 19.3 feet, with atmospheric pressure remaining high (above 1026 hPa). NOAA’s forecast continues to show 0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:30 AM to 07:30 AM PST, and again in the evening around 8:00 PM; however, tidal levels and high pressure both suggest a very low flood risk.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected. No property damage or roadway inundation is anticipated.
Tidal levels are comparable to Day 1, but with barometric pressure staying reliably above typical flood-trigger thresholds. Historical floods of Category 3 or higher had lower barometric readings and were accompanied by stronger winds or a confirmed NOAA flood likelihood. None of those factors are present here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Maximum tides near 18.8 to 19.0 feet, alongside continued high atmospheric pressure (above 1028 hPa). NOAA data maintains a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide in the morning around 07:00 AM to 08:00 AM PST, with no significant flooding risk indicated.
IMPACTS
No impacts to property or travel expected. Low-lying areas are not at risk of inundation under these conditions.
Historically, moderate to high flooding has involved tide heights exceeding 20 feet in combination with notably lower barometric pressure. These conditions are currently absent. The NOAA flood threshold analysis confirms an ample margin below any flood risk.
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.
