Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Tide levels may reach up to 18.5 feet, potentially causing minor inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines.
WHEN From 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 3:00 PM is relatively high at 1014.42 hPa, indicating stable weather conditions. The anticipated tide height of approximately 18.5 feet is higher than previous Category 3 events but remains below the levels observed in more severe historical events. Wind speeds are minimal, and the wind direction is from the WSW at 1 km/h, reducing the potential for wind-driven tidal surges. NOAA's flood likelihood data is not available for this date. Compared to historical data, these conditions align with a Category 3 event, suggesting that while minor flooding is possible, significant property damage is unlikely.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to elevated tide levels up to 19.7 feet.
WHEN From 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas. Possible water over roadways in vulnerable spots.
At the time of the high tide at 6:00 AM, the barometric pressure is 1007.05 hPa, which is lower than Day 1 but still higher than pressures associated with severe flood events. The tide height is expected to peak at around 19.7 feet. Wind conditions are calm with winds from the NNE at 5 km/h, minimizing additional tidal impact. NOAA's Flood Likelihood for this date is low at 0.2%, with a significant distance below the flood threshold. When compared to historical data, these factors correspond to a Category 3 event, indicating that while monitoring is advisable, significant flooding is unlikely.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible as tide levels may reach up to 19.9 feet.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas near the coast. Localized impact on coastal roads.
On Day 3, the high tide at 6:36 AM coincides with a high barometric pressure of 1018.97 hPa, suggesting stable and calm weather conditions. The anticipated tide height of approximately 19.9 feet is similar to Day 2 and remains below critical levels observed in more severe historical events. Wind speeds are low at 3 km/h from the NNE, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 0.6%, with water levels significantly below the threshold. These conditions are consistent with a Category 3 event based on historical comparisons, indicating minimal risk for 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.
