Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides are forecast to reach around 17.6 ft in the morning, but the high barometric pressure (approximately 1022 hPa) and NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood both indicate no substantial risk for coastal inundation.
WHEN
Peak tide near 08:24 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts anticipated. Typical activities along the shoreline can proceed normally without major hazard concerns.
• Barometric pressure is much higher than in past moderate-to-severe flood events, reducing the potential for water rise.
• Historical Category 3 flooding at approximately 17.46 ft tide and lower pressure (1006.1 hPa) does not match these higher pressure conditions.
• NOAA’s forecast confidently suggests no marine flooding issues for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Despite tides again approaching the 17.6 ft range, conditions remain stable with an even higher barometric pressure near or above 1029 hPa, and NOAA continues to indicate a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tides near midnight (around 00:00) and mid-morning (around 09:12 AM PST).
IMPACTS
No notable flood impacts. Standard precautions apply for routine shoreline activities.
• Comparisons to Category 3 historical events show these tides are equally high but occur with substantially higher barometric pressure, which lowers risk.
• Winds are mainly from the S–SSW and not expected to push significant additional water onshore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides may again be near 17.5–17.6 ft; however, barometric pressure remains high around 1026–1027 hPa, and NOAA projects a 0.0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide late morning into early afternoon (highest around 10:24 AM PST).
IMPACTS
Minimal, if any, tidal overflow. Low-lying areas near the shoreline remain safe, with no property threats.
• Conditions remain calmer than historical flood events, which featured lower barometric pressures and higher surges.
• No additional weather factors (such as strong onshore winds or excessive rainfall) appear to coincide with the high tide.
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.
