Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide levels will reach around 18.66 ft early in the morning, but barometric pressure (~1010 hPa) is notably higher than the historically low-pressure flooding events. Wind speeds are light and predominantly from the north, and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 01:36 AM; however, impacts are projected to be negligible.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts to low-lying or coastal areas are anticipated.
• Tide heights are below the 20+ ft levels typically associated with more serious flooding in the historical data.
• Barometric pressure is sufficiently high relative to known flood events (well above the ~992 hPa range common to more severe conditions).
• NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood further supports minimal to no flood concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding risk is anticipated. Although tides may approach 19.0 ft in the early morning, barometric pressure near 1015 hPa remains fairly high, and no strong onshore winds are forecast. NOAA continues to indicate a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Most notable high tide around 02:24 AM, but conditions are not conducive to flooding.
IMPACTS
No expected inundation of roads or low-lying areas.
• Historically, higher-category flood events have occurred with tides exceeding 20 ft and significantly lower-pressure systems.
• Current wind patterns prevail from a northerly direction, reducing the chance of coastal water push.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides may briefly rise above 19 ft near early morning hours, but with subdued winds and barometric pressure around 1011 hPa, the likelihood of flooding remains low. NOAA forecasts 0% chance of tidal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides occur early in the morning (near 02:54 AM) and again around midday to mid-afternoon, yet conditions are not expected to approach flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
No flooding of local roads or coastal zones is expected.
• Although tide levels are moderately high, they remain below the ~20 ft and lower-pressure conditions seen in historical Category 3 or 4 events.
• No strong westerly or northwesterly wind component, further lessening onshore water buildup.
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.
