Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will reach a morning peak of around 19.0 ft near 03:00 AM with a moderate barometric pressure of ~1004.9 hPa. A second high tide near mid-afternoon is lower (approximately 17.8 ft), also with moderate pressure (~1006.0 hPa). NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for the day, reinforcing that no coastal flooding is anticipated.
WHEN
Highest risk times:
• Early morning near 03:00 AM
• Mid-afternoon near 03:30 PM
IMPACTS
No significant flood impacts are expected. Shoreline areas and low-lying roads should remain unaffected.
Although the morning tide approaches 19 ft, historical events typically causing Category 3 or higher flooding have coincided with either significantly lower barometric pressure (near or below 992 hPa) and/or tides exceeding 21 ft. Here, the barometric pressure is notably higher than the critical threshold, and NOAA provides a flood likelihood of 0.0%. Therefore, conditions align most closely with Category 2: no risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected again. Early morning tide peaks around 19.3 ft near 03:24 AM, with a relatively higher pressure of ~1013.9 hPa. Late afternoon tide near 16:24 is also below 21 ft. NOAA’s forecast indicates no flood risk.
WHEN
Highest risk times:
• Pre-dawn near 03:00–03:30 AM
• Late afternoon near 04:00 PM
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are anticipated. Coastal infrastructure and low-lying areas should not experience inundation.
Compared to historical Category 3 or 4 events, today’s barometric pressure remains well above low-pressure levels that often exacerbate flooding. With NOAA again reporting minimal flood likelihood, all indicators suggest no significant flood threat for Day 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. The morning high tide is near 19.5 ft around 03:54 AM, with a moderately low (but not critically low) pressure near 1004.8 hPa. Another late afternoon high tide occurs near 17:18 (~19.1 ft), accompanied by slightly lower pressure (~1004.1 hPa), but still not near the 992 hPa benchmark.
WHEN
Highest risk times:
• Early morning near 03:30–04:00 AM
• Late afternoon near 05:00 PM
IMPACTS
No meaningful inundation of shorelines or roads is expected. Normal tidal conditions should persist, with no forecasted damage to property.
Although Day 3’s tides nearly match or slightly exceed Day 1 and Day 2 levels, the barometric pressure is still significantly above the historically low levels associated with damaging floods. NOAA again assigns 0.0% flood likelihood. Consequently, conditions remain consistent 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.
All forecasts are based solely on the provided tide heights, barometric pressure, and the NOAA likelihood data. For final decision-making, please consult local emergency management or the National Weather Service.
