Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. Tides reach near 19 ft, but barometric pressure remains above 1011 hPa. NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood of 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tidal levels occur in the early morning hours (around 04:36–04:42 PDT).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Low coastal areas are not expected to flood.
Compared to historical flood events (Category 3 and higher), today’s barometric pressure is not low enough, and tides do not exceed the 21 ft threshold commonly associated with more serious flooding. NOAA’s forecast shows minimal concern for inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. Tides approach 19 ft, barometric pressure in the 1007–1008 hPa range. NOAA continues to report 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tides occur around 05:00 PDT and again in the early evening around 18:24 PDT.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or significant property concerns.
Although the tide heights are relatively high, they remain below 21 ft. With moderate barometric pressure and no notable onshore winds from the W/NW, conditions do not align with past moderate or severe flood events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected despite notably lower barometric pressures (around 999–1001 hPa) and tide levels around 18–19 ft.
WHEN
Highest tides occur early morning around 05:24 PDT, with another midday high tide near 10:18 PDT.
IMPACTS
Little to no flooding expected. Coastal infrastructure should remain unaffected.
Even though pressures drop closer to 1000 hPa, the tide height does not exceed 21 ft. NOAA’s data shows a 0.0% likelihood of flooding. Historically, significantly lower pressures and higher tide heights (>21 ft) have been key contributors to notable 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.
