Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Tides will reach around 19 ft, but barometric pressure remains above 992.8 hPa (in this case around 1011–1012 hPa), which is not low enough to significantly raise flooding concerns. NOAA flood likelihood data for this date is 0.0%, indicating no anticipated flood impacts.
WHEN
Minor tidal peaks expected near 03:24 AM and 04:24 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Areas along the shore, roads, and low-lying properties should remain free of floodwater.
• Compared to historical Category 3 and higher events, today’s tides are below the ~21 ft threshold commonly associated with more serious flooding.
• The barometric pressure is relatively high, which lessens the likelihood of a significant surge.
• NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood further confirms no reason for concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Despite a moderate low-pressure reading in the early morning (about 1003 hPa), it remains well above the critical ~992.8 hPa threshold typically linked to more serious flood events. Tides do not surpass the higher 21 ft benchmarks observed in past Category 3–5 events.
WHEN
High tides peaking near 03:54 AM and 05:18 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Normal marine conditions around shorelines and low-lying areas.
• Although the early morning pressure is somewhat lower than on Day 1, it is not low enough to trigger coastal flooding when combined with current tide heights.
• NOAA forecasts indicate a 0.0% flood likelihood, aligning with historical data showing these conditions do not produce flooding concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Tides could reach around 19.5 ft, but current forecasts show relatively high barometric pressure (1014–1016 hPa) and 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Tidal maxima near 04:24 AM and 06:12 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No observable flooding in typical trouble spots (roads, low-lying fields, and shoreline properties).
• Barometric pressure is projected to remain well above the historical low benchmark that often contributes to major coastal flooding.
• Tide levels, while notable, do not match or exceed those in past Category 3–5 events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood analysis for this date indicates minimal risk.
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.
