Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Tides may reach around 19.4 ft early in the morning with a barometric pressure near 1003 hPa; however, NOAA data indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide forecast around 03:54 AM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected. Low-lying areas and shorelines are not expected to experience inundation.
Despite relatively high tidal levels, the barometric pressure is not low enough (well above 992.8 hPa), and NOAA forecasts no flood threat. Historically, events in the Category 3 range have either had more extreme tide heights (>20 ft) or a significantly lower barometric pressure, plus higher NOAA flood likelihood. Given these milder conditions and a 0% NOAA likelihood, this is classified as Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. The day’s highest tide is projected under 18 ft, and the barometric pressure remains moderate at about 1010–1016 hPa. NOAA indicates 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides anticipated around 04:18 AM and 04:54 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts. Normal tidal activity without flooding in shoreline or low-lying regions.
Although occasional rain is possible, the barometric pressure and tide levels do not approach thresholds historically associated with flooding. The NOAA forecasted flood likelihood remains at 0%, reinforcing a Category 2 (no flood risk) classification.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk. Tides up to around 18.3 ft are expected, but barometric pressure near 1009 hPa and NOAA’s continued 0% flood likelihood confirm minimal concern for inundation.
WHEN
Morning and midday high tides (particularly around 09:48 AM and 12:36 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No direct flooding impacts foreseen; no shoreline or roadway flooding is expected.
Comparisons with past events indicate that tides below 21 ft combined with barometric pressures well above 992.8 hPa typically do not produce flood conditions. Thus, conditions align with Category 2: no risk of flooding.
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.
