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 05:48 AM to 06:12 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On September 5th, the high tide at 05:48 AM is expected to reach 17.555 feet with a barometric pressure of 1008.57 hPa. The second high tide at 06:12 PM will reach 18.828 feet with a barometric pressure of 1011.12 hPa. Both high tides are significant but the barometric pressures are relatively high compared to historical severe flood events, reducing the likelihood of major flooding. Wind speeds are moderate and from the NW, which historically has not been a major factor in exacerbating flood conditions in this area.
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 06:36 AM to 06:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
On September 6th, the high tide at 06:36 AM is expected to reach 17.507 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.49 hPa. The second high tide at 06:36 PM will reach 18.695 feet with a barometric pressure of 1011.85 hPa. The morning high tide combined with lower barometric pressure increases the risk of moderate flooding, although it is still below the threshold for severe flooding observed in historical 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 07:24 AM to 07:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
On September 7th, the high tide at 07:24 AM is expected to reach 17.441 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.29 hPa. The second high tide at 07:00 PM will reach 18.436 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.29 hPa. Both high tides are significant and combined with lower barometric pressures increase the risk of moderate flooding similar to the previous day.
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.
Given the relatively high barometric pressures and significant but not extreme tide heights, the flood potential is categorized as Category 2 for minor coastal flooding.
The lower morning barometric pressure combined with significant tide height increases the flood potential to Category 3 for moderate coastal flooding.
Similar conditions as Day 2 with moderate barometric pressures and significant tide heights result in a Category 3 for moderate coastal flooding.
