Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. Tidal and weather conditions indicate normal coastal activity with no potential for flooding.
WHEN N/A
IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. All coastal areas are expected to remain unaffected.
On January 1, 2025, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 6:54 AM is 1022.30 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during historical flood events. The tide height reaches approximately 20.40 ft at that time, which is lower than the tide heights recorded in previous Category 3 and higher events. Wind speed is low at 5 km/h (3 mph) coming from the ESE (118 degrees), and does not contribute to flooding risk. NOAA's flood likelihood for this day is 5.0%, which is lower than the historical Category 3 event that had a likelihood of 8.4%. Based on these factors, there is no expected risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. Weather and tidal conditions remain stable with no indications of potential flooding.
WHEN N/A
IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Coastal and low-lying areas will not be affected.
On January 2, 2025, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 5:00 AM is 1024.56 hPa, indicating stable and calm weather conditions. The tide height at this time is approximately 20.10 ft, which is below the levels associated with historical flooding events. Wind speeds are minimal, and wind direction does not contribute to any flooding risk. NOAA's flood likelihood is 5.8%, still lower than the historical Category 3 event. Therefore, flooding is not expected on this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Conditions are close to a flood event and worth monitoring. Minor coastal water level increases are possible near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST during the morning high tide period.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Minor water level rises may be observed along the immediate coast, but flooding is unlikely to cause damage.
On January 3, 2025, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 8:00 AM is 1023.10 hPa, which is higher than pressures recorded during past flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The tide height reaches approximately 20.63 ft, which is slightly higher than the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 that had a tide height of 17.46 ft. However, the high barometric pressure reduces the potential impact of this tide height. Wind speeds are low and do not significantly contribute to flooding risk. NOAA's flood likelihood is 11.2%, similar to the historical Category 3 event which had an 8.4% likelihood. Based on these factors, while flooding is unlikely to cause damage, it is advisable to monitor conditions during this period.
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.
