Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides near 19.3 ft are predicted, but barometric pressure remains high (above 1025 hPa), and NOAA assigns a 0.0% flood likelihood. These factors indicate no risk of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides forecast around 06:48 PST and again near 20:06 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying areas and shorelines may see typical tidal water levels but no inundation.
Despite elevated tide heights, the significantly high barometric pressure—compare this to historically low pressures in notable flood events—helps keep conditions stable. NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood for this date further supports a no-risk outlook.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Peak tides (around 18.8 ft) occur under very high barometric pressure (1028–1035 hPa). NOAA maintains a low flood likelihood (0.0%), indicating no risk of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tidal levels expected around 07:18 PST and 21:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or property impacts. Normal tidal fluctuations should be expected along the shoreline.
Historical comparisons show that flooding typically accompanies pressures below 992.8 hPa combined with tide heights above 21 ft. These conditions are not present. All relevant indicators remain well below thresholds historically associated with even minor flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tide forecasts reach near 18–19 ft, with barometric pressure remaining high (~1029 hPa). As with the preceding days, NOAA forecasts a 0.0% chance of flooding. No risk of flooding is expected.
WHEN
Highest tide windows occur near 07:48 PST and midday around 13:18 PST.
IMPACTS
No impacts to coastal infrastructure or low-lying roads. Standard conditions for local tides.
Comparisons to past flood events (e.g., Category 3 or higher) highlight that lower barometric pressure and tide heights exceeding 21 ft were main drivers. Current conditions do not meet those markers. Therefore, the risk remains minimal.
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.
