Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide is projected to reach around 18.0 ft early in the morning, but the barometric pressure is relatively high (around 1006–1008 hPa), and NOAA indicates a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Near the early morning high tide around 01:06 AM and again late evening, although neither is forecast to produce flood conditions.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Normal coastal activities should not be affected.
• Historical comparison: While tide heights above 17 ft have sometimes approached minor flooding in the past (e.g., 12/27/2023, Category 3), those instances had lower barometric pressure and/or higher NOAA flood likelihood.
• NOAA’s current analysis shows no imminent flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide heights could approach 18.3 ft overnight, but barometric pressure is higher than typical flood-related thresholds (up to ~1009 hPa), and NOAA forecasts 0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
The highest tide is expected around 01:48 AM, but conditions remain unfavorable for coastal flooding.
IMPACTS
No direct flood-related impacts. Low-lying areas, beaches, and roads should remain accessible.
• The barometric pressure remains well above the ~992.8 hPa range often associated with flood events in this region.
• Consistent with NOAA data, there is no indication of tidal inundation on this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While tide heights may briefly exceed 18.5 ft overnight, the barometric pressure stays around 1018–1019 hPa, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide just after midnight into the early morning hours, though conditions do not support flooding.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Routine marine and coastal activities should proceed normally.
• These forecast heights remain below the ~20+ ft threshold often linked to historical flooding in the area.
• Barometric pressures are significantly higher than the low-pressure events historically linked with flood damage.
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.
