Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. Tides will peak near 19.36 ft in the morning under moderately high barometric pressure (around 1015 hPa). NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date.
WHEN
Highest risk period around the morning high tide (06:54 AM). Another high tide occurs in the evening (around 09:06 PM), but lower tide levels and continued moderate pressure also indicate no flood threat.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding is anticipated. Minor ponding in extremely low-lying areas may occur, but no property damage or road closures are expected.
Compared with past Category 3 events, the barometric pressure remains well above critical low thresholds, and tide heights do not exceed levels historically associated with flooding. NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood further supports a Category 2 (no risk).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected despite moderate tide heights reaching near 18.82 ft. The barometric pressure is projected around 1000.78 hPa at the main high tide, which is not sufficiently low to raise flood concerns in this region.
WHEN
Primary high tide anticipated at 07:30 AM. A secondary high tide late in the evening (around 10:36 PM) is forecast to be slightly lower, with pressure near 1010.72 hPa.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts. Low-lying coastal spots remain largely unaffected, with minimal or no inundation expected.
Historical Category 3 and 4 events typically involved tide heights above 19 ft paired with notably lower barometric pressure or higher NOAA flood likelihood. Here, all indicators remain below those thresholds, aligning with Category 2 conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. The forecasted high tides (around 08:24 AM and 06:18 PM) hover near 18.10 ft, and pressures near 1010.48 hPa remain well above critical levels.
WHEN
Morning high tide at 08:24 AM and afternoon-to-evening high tide near 06:18 PM. Neither tide height nor barometric pressure suggests flooding potential.
IMPACTS
No flood-related disruptions anticipated. Routine coastal conditions will prevail without significant inundation.
All NOAA data indicate flood likelihood remains at 0.0%. Even though tide heights approach the higher range, they do not coincide with historically low pressure readings or other key flood triggers seen in past moderate or severe flood events.
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.
