Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but unlikely to cause flood damage.
WHEN From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM PST on 2024-10-10.
IMPACTS Minor water level rise near shorelines and low-lying areas. No significant property damage is expected.
On 2024-10-10, the high tide is expected to reach approximately 18.139 feet at around 11:30 AM. This tide height is slightly higher than the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, which had a tide height of 17.460 feet. The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1009.81 hPa, which is higher than the pressure during the historical event (1006.1 hPa). Wind speeds are low, averaging 6 mph from the N to NNE, reducing the potential for wind-driven coastal flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood is low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding and a significant distance below the flood threshold. While the conditions are close to a flood event, significant flooding is not anticipated.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No specific risk period on 2024-10-11.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.
On 2024-10-11, the high tide is expected to peak at approximately 18.346 feet around 12:42 PM, similar to Day 1. However, the barometric pressure is higher at around 1019.68 hPa, indicating more stable weather conditions. Wind speeds are low, around 3-5 mph from the NNW to N directions. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding and a distance of -2.83 meters below the flood threshold. Considering these factors, the flood risk is minimal, and no significant flooding is expected.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but unlikely to cause flood damage.
WHEN From 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM PST on 2024-10-12.
IMPACTS Minor water level rise near shorelines and low-lying areas. No significant property damage is expected.
On 2024-10-12, the high tide is expected to reach approximately 18.666 feet at around 1:30 PM, which is slightly higher than the tides on the previous days and the historical Category 3 event. The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1019.63 hPa, indicating stable weather conditions. Wind speeds are low, averaging 2 mph with wind direction shifting from SW to WSW. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding and a distance of -2.56 meters below the flood threshold. While the tide height is higher, the high barometric pressure and calm winds reduce the likelihood of significant 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.
