Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 01:00 AM to 04:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 17, the high tide at 01:18 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.723 feet with a barometric pressure of 1010.22 hPa. The second high tide at 16:36 PM will reach around 19.015 feet with a barometric pressure of 1011.25 hPa. These conditions are similar to the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 but with slightly higher pressure, reducing the flood risk. Wind speeds are relatively low, and NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.0%.

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 02:00 AM to 05:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 18, the high tide at 02:18 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.137 feet with a barometric pressure of 1011.64 hPa. The second high tide at 17:00 PM will reach around 19.320 feet with a barometric pressure of 1013.31 hPa. These conditions are similar to the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 but with slightly higher pressure, reducing the flood risk. Wind speeds are relatively low, and NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.0%.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 03:00 AM to 06:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 19, the high tide at 03:12 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.504 feet with a barometric pressure of 1016.62 hPa. The second high tide at 17:24 PM will reach around 19.596 feet with a barometric pressure of 1015.70 hPa. These conditions are similar to the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 but with significantly higher pressure, reducing the flood risk further. Wind speeds are relatively low, and NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.0%.
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.
Step-by-step analysis for each day:
Both pressures are higher than the critical threshold (992.8 hPa), indicating lower flood risk.
Tide Height:
High tide heights are significant but not extreme compared to historical severe events.
Wind Direction and Speed:
Wind speeds are relatively low (around 10 mph) and not from critical directions that exacerbate flooding.
NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood:
Both pressures are higher than the critical threshold (992.8 hPa), indicating lower flood risk.
Tide Height:
High tide heights are significant but not extreme compared to historical severe events.
Wind Direction and Speed:
Wind speeds are relatively low (around 10 mph) and not from critical directions that exacerbate flooding.
NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood:
Both pressures are significantly higher than the critical threshold (992.8 hPa), indicating very low flood risk.
Tide Height:
High tide heights are significant but not extreme compared to historical severe events.
Wind Direction and Speed:
Wind speeds are relatively low (around 10 mph) and not from critical directions that exacerbate flooding.
NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood:
Based on this analysis, all three days fall into Category 2 for minor coastal flooding potential due to higher barometric pressures and moderate tide heights without significant wind impact or NOAA flood likelihood indicators suggesting otherwise.
