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 03:00 AM to 05:00 AM PST and from 05:00 PM to 07:00 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 17.454 feet with a barometric pressure of 1016.36 hPa. The second high tide at 05:24 PM is expected to reach approximately 19.597 feet with a barometric pressure of 1018.15 hPa. Both events are characterized by relatively high barometric pressures, which reduce the likelihood of severe flooding. Wind speeds are low (around 7 kmph) and from the south, which is not a significant factor for exacerbating flooding in this region.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 04:00 AM to 06:00 AM PST and from 06:00 PM to 08:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
On August 20, the high tide at 04:06 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.703 feet with a barometric pressure of 1017.19 hPa. The second high tide at 05:54 PM is expected to reach approximately 19.860 feet with a barometric pressure of 1012.58 hPa. The lower barometric pressure during the evening high tide increases the risk of moderate flooding, although it remains above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. Wind speeds are moderate (around 10 kmph) and from the south-southwest, which may contribute slightly to the flooding risk.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Significant coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 3 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 05:00 AM to 07:00 AM PST and from 06:00 PM to 08:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Significant flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Road closures likely, with potential property damage in vulnerable areas.
On August 21, the high tide at 05:06 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.677 feet with a barometric pressure of 1008.27 hPa. The second high tide at 06:24 PM is expected to reach approximately 20.074 feet with a barometric pressure of 1007.66 hPa. The lower barometric pressures during both high tides increase the risk of significant flooding, especially during the evening high tide when the pressure is closer to the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. Wind speeds are moderate (around 10 kmph) and from the south-southwest, which may exacerbate the flooding conditions.
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.
