Redondo Beach, WA
WHAT Higher than usual tides are expected, which may lead to minor coastal flooding in localized low-lying areas. Possible brief inundation near shorelines.
WHEN From 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM PST during the morning high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas along the coastline. Little to no property damage is anticipated.
The barometric pressure is approximately 1008.5 hPa during the peak high tide, which is higher than pressures observed in historical severe flood events (Category 4 and 5). The expected tide height is around 19.7 ft, which is higher than the historical Category 3 event (17.460 ft) but lower than the Category 4 events (over 21 ft). Wind speeds are low at about 2 mph from the North (wind direction 2 degrees), which is not significant enough to impact tidal conditions. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.2%, with a substantial distance to the flood threshold. Based on these factors, while tides are higher than usual, the overall risk of flooding causing damage is minimal but worth monitoring.
WHAT Anticipated higher tides may result in minor coastal flooding in some low-lying shoreline areas.
WHEN From 5:30 AM to 7:30 AM PST during the morning high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding in low-lying coastal regions is possible. Significant property damage is not expected.
The barometric pressure is around 1018 hPa during the high tide, significantly higher than during historical severe flood events, indicating stable atmospheric conditions. The tide height is expected to peak at approximately 19.95 ft, slightly higher than Day 1 but still below the historical Category 4 events. Wind speeds are minimal at about 1 mph from the Northeast (wind direction 43 degrees), unlikely to contribute to increased flooding risk. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 0.6%. Given these conditions, there is a minimal risk of flooding, but monitoring is advised due to the higher tide levels.
WHAT High tides reaching levels that may cause minor coastal flooding in low-lying areas along the shore.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST during the morning high tide.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of low-lying coastal areas. No significant property damage is anticipated.
Barometric pressure is expected to be about 1019 hPa during the peak high tide, which is higher than pressures associated with past severe flooding events. The tide height is forecasted to reach around 20.06 ft, higher than the previous two days but still below the historical Category 4 thresholds. Wind speeds are low at approximately 2 mph from the North-Northeast (wind direction 31 degrees), not contributing significantly to the flood risk. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.1%. While the tide heights are approaching higher levels, the stable atmospheric conditions and low wind speeds suggest that the risk of significant flooding remains low but should be monitored.
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.
