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 03:00 AM PST and from 03:00 PM to 05:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On 2024-09-28, the high tide at 01:06 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 16.422 feet with a barometric pressure of 1012.39 hPa. The second high tide at 03:18 PM will reach around 18.963 feet with a barometric pressure of 1013.78 hPa. These conditions are similar to the Category 1 event on 03/02/2024 but with slightly higher tide heights. However, the barometric pressure is significantly higher than the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding.
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 02:00 AM to 04:00 AM PST and from 03:30 PM to 05:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
On 2024-09-29, the high tide at 02:12 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 16.753 feet with a barometric pressure of 1011.09 hPa. The second high tide at 03:42 PM will reach around 18.906 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.18 hPa. These conditions are similar to the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 but with slightly lower tide heights and higher barometric pressure, indicating a moderate risk of flooding.

On 2024-09-30, the high tide at 03:06 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.103 feet with a barometric pressure of 1018.13 hPa. The second high tide at 04:00 PM will reach around 18.813 feet with a barometric pressure of 1016.82 hPa. These conditions are similar to the Category 2 event on previous days but with slightly higher tide heights and significantly higher barometric pressure, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding.
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 was conducted for each day based on provided data:
For all three days, the barometric pressure remains well above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa.
Evaluate Tide Height:
Tide heights range from approximately 16 to over 18 feet across all three days.
Consider Wind Direction:
Wind direction data was not provided; however, historical comparisons were made based on available data.
Integrate NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood:
NOAA's flood likelihood for these dates is low (0%), further supporting lower flood risk categorization.
Synthesize Information and Forecast Flood Category:
This analysis provides a comprehensive assessment based on historical data comparisons and current weather conditions provided by the user.
