Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Monitoring is advised due to higher-than-usual tides. Minor coastal flooding is unlikely but worth attention.
WHEN From 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas may experience slightly elevated water levels; however, flooding and property damage are not expected.
On October 13, 2024, a high tide is expected at 2:06 PM with a tide height of 19.021 ft. The barometric pressure at this time is 1008.45 hPa, which is higher than pressures observed during historical flood events. Wind speeds are low, averaging 3-4 mph from the southwest (wind direction 227 degrees). NOAA's flood likelihood is low, with a 0.0% likelihood and a distance to threshold of -2.14m.
Compared to the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, which had a lower tide height of 17.460 ft but a lower barometric pressure of 1006.1 hPa, today's conditions present a similar low risk of flooding. The higher barometric pressure and moderate tide height suggest minimal flood risk, but monitoring is advised due to the higher tides.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected.
WHEN N/A
IMPACTS No flood-related impacts anticipated.
On October 14, 2024, the highest tide occurs at 2:36 PM with a tide height of 19.384 ft, but the barometric pressure is high at 1015.10 hPa. Wind speeds are moderate, ranging from 7-12 mph from the south-southwest to south-southeast (wind directions 200 to 158 degrees). NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, with a distance to threshold of -1.86m.
Given the high barometric pressure and moderate tide heights, there is no significant flood risk expected. Conditions differ from historical flooding events, which featured significantly lower barometric pressures and higher tide levels.

WHAT Monitoring is advised due to higher-than-usual tides. Minor coastal flooding is unlikely but worth attention.
WHEN From 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas may experience slightly elevated water levels; however, flooding and property damage are not expected.
On October 15, 2024, a high tide is expected at 3:00 PM with a tide height of 19.728 ft. The barometric pressure is high at 1021.92 hPa. Winds are from the northwest (wind direction 317 degrees) at approximately 4 mph. While winds from the northwest can contribute to higher water levels, the wind speed is low. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.0%, with a distance to threshold of -1.43m.
Compared to historical events, the high barometric pressure and tide heights below the critical 21 ft threshold indicate a low risk of flooding. However, due to the wind direction and higher tide levels, monitoring is suggested.
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.
