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 06:00 AM to 11:18 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 26, the high tide at 06:00 AM is expected to reach 9.978 feet with a barometric pressure of 1007.39 hPa. The second high tide at 11:18 AM will reach 17.34 feet with a barometric pressure of 1009.94 hPa. The barometric pressures are significantly higher than the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding. Wind speeds are low (2-4 kmph) and from varying directions, which further minimizes the risk. Historical data indicates that similar conditions have not led to significant flooding events.
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 01:00 PM to 10:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
On August 27, the high tide at 01:12 PM is expected to reach 17.819 feet with a barometric pressure of 1010.76 hPa, and the second high tide at 10:36 PM will reach 17.617 feet with a barometric pressure of 1008.01 hPa. Although the tide heights are significant, the barometric pressures remain above the critical threshold, suggesting a moderate risk of flooding. Wind speeds are moderate (10-15 kmph) from the SSW direction, which could contribute to higher water levels but not significantly enough to cause severe flooding.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 3 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 02:00 PM to midnight PST.
IMPACTS Likely flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Road closures possible and minor property damage in vulnerable areas.
On August 28, the high tide at 02:30 PM is expected to reach 18.473 feet with a barometric pressure of 1004.17 hPa, and the second high tide at midnight will reach approximately the same height with similar pressure conditions. The lower barometric pressure combined with high tide levels increases the risk of coastal flooding significantly compared to previous days. Wind speeds are moderate (10-15 kmph) from varying directions but predominantly from NNW, which could exacerbate water levels along the coast.
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.
