Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding according to both tidal predictions (peak near 19.4 ft) and current barometric pressure levels (1013–1009 hPa). NOAA Flood Likelihood is reported as 0.0%. Moderate high tides are present, but they remain below the 21 ft threshold typically required for concern and are paired with relatively stable atmospheric pressure.
WHEN
Highest tides around mid-afternoon (15:06) and late evening (22:24).
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts expected. Roads, harbor areas, and shoreline properties should remain unaffected.
• Compared with historical Category 3 or higher events, today’s barometric pressure is higher and does not drop to the critical low range (below ~992–1002 hPa).
• Although the tide is moderately high, it remains well below 21 ft, which historically coincides with more significant coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood analysis indicates no increased flood risk for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The highest tide (near 19.4 ft) again remains below 21 ft. Barometric pressure dips a bit overnight (near 1004.8 hPa) but does not reach levels historically associated with coastal flooding. NOAA Flood Likelihood is 0.0%.
WHEN
Peak tides anticipated in the early morning (around 03:54) and mid-afternoon (16:00).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected in low-lying coastal areas. Normal marine operations and shoreline activities can continue without concern.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., 20+ ft combined with much lower pressure) show significantly more risk than what is forecast.
• Wind directions forecast primarily from southerly sectors, which typically do not exacerbate coastal flooding in this region.
• NOAA’s analysis confirms very low likelihood of coastal flooding on this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides remain below 20 ft, and barometric pressure readings around 1012–1014 hPa indicate stable conditions. Confirmed by NOAA’s Flood Likelihood of 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tides predicted early morning (shortly after 04:00) and late afternoon/early evening (16:54).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding; normal coastal conditions are expected.
• Although light to moderate rainfall is forecast, historical data indicate that significantly lower atmospheric pressure combined with 21+ ft tides typically presents flood concerns—neither condition is met.
• Winds are moderate and not from the strong W/NW directions that often contribute to higher surge events.
• NOAA data continue to show no increase in flood potential for this date.
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.
