Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Although tides will reach around 19.6 feet near the morning peak, barometric pressure remains relatively high (about 1018.7 hPa), and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood for this date.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 06:18 AM and 08:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas along the shore should experience normal tidal conditions without significant inundation.
Comparisons with historical events show that while the tide heights will be higher than during some past Category 1 events, barometric pressure is not low enough to trigger flooding. NOAA’s flood likelihood data further supports no flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Peak tides are predicted to be near 19.4 feet in the morning and evening, with barometric pressures of about 1015.5 hPa and 1009.7 hPa respectively—still well above the critical low-pressure threshold. NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 06:54 AM and 09:00–09:30 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts anticipated. Conditions should remain normal near shorelines, with no known disturbances to travel or property.
Historical Category 3 or higher floods typically feature lower barometric pressure (at or near 992.8 hPa) combined with tides exceeding 20 ft. Neither factor aligns with Day 2 conditions. NOAA data indicates minimal concerns for flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding despite relatively high tides, which will again approach but stay below 20 ft. The lowest forecast barometric pressure (about 1001.3 hPa) is still above typical flooding thresholds, and NOAA continues to list flood likelihood at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides are expected around 07:30 AM and 10:30 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are forecast. Shoreline areas should remain unaffected and routine activities can proceed as normal.
While the barometric pressure is projected to be somewhat lower on Day 3, it does not approach historical low-pressure levels for Category 3+ events. With no additional factors indicating risk, flooding potential 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.
