Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding is possible. High tides are forecasted to reach up to 20.062 feet, which is higher than previous Category 3 events. However, barometric pressure remains relatively high at approximately 1019 hPa, reducing the likelihood of significant flooding.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST, with the highest risk around 7:12 AM.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas near shorelines is possible. Monitoring is advised, but significant flood damage is unlikely.
The tide height is expected to peak at approximately 20.062 feet at 7:12 AM, which is higher than the tide height during the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 (17.460 feet). However, the barometric pressure is higher at 1019 hPa compared to 1006 hPa during the historical event, indicating less severe weather conditions. Wind speeds are low, around 2-5 mph, further reducing the flood risk. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.1%, and the distance to the flood threshold is -1.12 meters, suggesting that significant flooding is unlikely.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding is possible. High tides are expected to reach up to 20.084 feet, with slightly lower barometric pressure of about 1012 hPa. While the tide height is significant, the higher pressure reduces the overall flood risk.
WHEN From 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM PST, with the highest risk around 7:54 AM.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of coastal areas may occur. Continued monitoring is recommended, but major flooding is unlikely.
On December 4, 2024, the high tide is forecasted to peak at approximately 20.084 feet at 7:54 AM. The barometric pressure is around 1012 hPa, higher than the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa associated with significant flooding events. Compared to historical events, the tide height is high, but the higher pressure and low wind speeds (approximately 1-3 mph) lessen the flood risk. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 1.3%, with a distance to threshold of -1.08 meters.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding is possible. High tides are forecasted up to 20.067 feet, with barometric pressure around 1012 hPa. The risk remains low due to prevailing weather conditions.
WHEN From 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST, with the highest risk around 8:36 AM.
IMPACTS Minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas is possible. Vigilance is advised, but significant flooding is not expected.
On December 5, 2024, the high tide is expected to reach approximately 20.067 feet at 8:36 AM. Barometric pressure is around 1012 hPa, well above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa linked to higher flood risk. Wind speeds are moderate, ranging from 3-5 mph. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.0%, with a distance to threshold of -1.15 meters. Compared to historical Category 3 events, the tide height is higher, but the elevated barometric pressure reduces the potential 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.
