Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. Tides will be moderately high (around 18.3 ft peak), but with notably high barometric pressure above 1029 hPa and calm wind conditions, there is no indication of coastal flooding.
WHEN
The highest tide occurs around the early morning (approximately 03:00–03:30 AM), but risk of flooding is negligible.
IMPACTS
No immediate impacts anticipated. Normal coastal activity and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is reported at 0.0% for this date, indicating minimal chance of high-tide flooding.
• Historical Category 3 or higher flood events in Redondo Beach typically require lower barometric pressures (<1006 hPa) and tides over 21 ft. Current conditions (high pressure and tides under 19 ft) are well outside the range of concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. While forecast tides may approach the upper 18-ft range, barometric pressures are still high (1023–1028 hPa) and winds are relatively light, keeping flood risk minimal.
WHEN
Peak tide around the early morning (03:30–03:45 AM) and midday (around 13:30–14:00 PM), but no significant coastal impacts anticipated.
IMPACTS
Normal coastal conditions. Low-lying roads, parks, or properties should not experience flooding based on current forecasts.
• NOAA again shows 0.0% flood likelihood for this day, reinforcing a low-risk scenario.
• Compared to past Category 3 events with similar tide levels, these higher pressures substantially reduce the potential for coastal inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. Tides may reach around 18.8 ft, the highest of the three-day period, but the barometric pressure is still above 1021 hPa, reducing the chance of any coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 03:54 AM and again mid-afternoon (around 14:48 PM), but conditions do not favor flood development.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts are expected along coastlines, beaches, or low-lying infrastructure.
• NOAA projects a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date, indicating no storm-driven or tide-driven flood hazards.
• Historical evidence shows that tide levels under 19–20 ft with pressures over 1005–1010 hPa rarely produce coastal flooding in this region. Current pressures are substantially higher, further minimizing any 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.
