Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the early-morning high tide will reach around 19.28 feet, the barometric pressure is forecast to be quite high (near 1026 hPa), which significantly reduces any flood risk.
WHEN
Near the high tide around 06:48 AM PST.
IMPACTS
• No anticipated flooding of homes, roads, or other low-lying areas.
• Normal daily activities should not be affected.
Historical Category 3 events often involved tide heights above 17 feet paired with much lower barometric pressures (e.g., ~1006–1020 hPa) and higher NOAA flood likelihood. By contrast, NOAA predicts 0.0% flood likelihood for today, and the notably high barometric pressure further mitigates the risk of rising waters despite the relatively high tide level.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding expected. Projected morning high tide is roughly 18.81 feet, with an even higher barometric pressure forecast (above 1028 hPa), which makes flooding very unlikely.
WHEN
Highest morning tide near 07:18 AM PST.
IMPACTS
• No property damage or inundation concerns are anticipated.
• Roads and shorelines should remain clear of floodwater.
This day’s barometric pressure is higher than that of past moderate flood events, and NOAA sets the flood likelihood at 0.0%. When compared to historical Category 4 examples (20+ ft tide alongside lower pressures ~1016 hPa), the current conditions pose minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding concerns. Though the expected high tide could reach around 18.24 feet, the ongoing high barometric pressure (above 1028 hPa) keeps coastal flood potential low.
WHEN
Morning high tide peaks between 07:30 AM and 08:48 AM PST.
IMPACTS
• No issues for low-lying coastal areas anticipated.
• Normal coastal and road activities are unlikely to be disrupted.
Historical reference data shows that Category 3 or higher flood risks typically involve tides upwards of about 20 feet and/or significantly lower barometric pressure. With NOAA continuing to indicate a 0.0% flood likelihood and very stable atmospheric conditions, the likelihood of any flooding remains negligible.
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.
