Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will be moderately high (peaking near 19.7 ft) but barometric pressure will remain around 1015 hPa, which is not low enough to raise significant concerns.
WHEN
Highest tides anticipated around 05:18 AM and 06:06 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are expected near shorelines or low-lying areas on this date.
NOAA’s likelihood of flooding is extremely low (0.1%). While the tide height is somewhat elevated, the pressure is near normal and winds are relatively mild. Historical comparisons indicate that significantly higher tides and/or markedly lower pressure would be necessary to move from no-risk Category 2 into a higher flood-risk category.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Similar to Day 1, no risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide reaches near 19.8 ft in the early morning hours, but barometric pressure (about 1011 hPa at its lowest) remains well above thresholds linked to major flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tides forecast around 05:48 AM and 07:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Typical high-tide conditions; no significant flooding or property impacts anticipated.
Despite slightly lower barometric pressure than Day 1, NOAA’s flood likelihood remains very low (0.1%). This aligns with historical data suggesting that tides below 20 ft paired with only modestly reduced pressure rarely produce significant flooding. Winds remain moderate, and overall conditions do not match past Category 3 or above flood events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is forecast. Although tide levels briefly approach 19.7 ft again, barometric pressure near 1018 hPa is relatively high, further reducing any chance of flood conditions.
WHEN
Peak tides near 06:18 AM and 08:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No dangerous impacts are expected. Shorelines and low-lying roads should see normal tidal conditions without significant inundation.
NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date is 0%. The high pressure and moderate wind speeds compare to historical no-flood scenarios. These factors, combined with tide heights below 20 ft, do not suggest a transition to a higher flood-risk category.
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.
