Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal tidal and weather conditions anticipated.
WHEN All day.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Regular tidal variations will occur without any flooding concerns.
Barometric pressure is high at 1028.57 hPa during the high tide at 04:24 AM, indicating stable atmospheric conditions. The maximum tide height for the day is approximately 19.405 ft at 01:30 PM, which is below the levels associated with past flooding events. Wind speeds are low, averaging around 4-8 km/h, with directions primarily from the south and southeast, which do not contribute to flooding risks. NOAA's flood likelihood is very low at 0.1%, with a significant distance to the flood threshold of -1.56 meters. Comparing with historical data, these conditions are well within normal ranges and do not indicate any potential for flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Conditions are close to a flood event; monitoring is recommended, but significant flood damage is unlikely.
WHEN From early morning to late afternoon, with peak tides around 05:06 AM and 02:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas is possible. Some shoreline areas may experience minor inundation.
Barometric pressure during the high tides is 1022.95 hPa at 05:06 AM and 1022.16 hPa at 02:24 PM, which is higher than pressures associated with severe historical flood events. The maximum tide height reaches approximately 20.505 ft at 05:30 AM, similar to the historical Category 3 event on 01/06/2025, which had a tide height of 20.68 ft and a pressure of 1020.47 hPa. Wind speeds are low, ranging from 1-5 km/h, with variable directions, indicating minimal impact on tidal conditions. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 2.8%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -0.9 meters, suggesting a slight increase in risk compared to Day 1. While the conditions warrant monitoring, significant flooding is not expected based on the historical comparisons and current data.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Flooding is likely but is not expected to cause major property damage. Moderate concern is warranted.
WHEN Highest risk from early morning to afternoon, with peak tides around 05:48 AM and 03:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS Flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads is likely. Some road closures and minor property impacts possible.
Barometric pressure decreases to approximately 1018.31 hPa at 05:48 AM and 1018.75 hPa at 03:18 PM during the high tides, which is lower than the previous days but still higher than pressures associated with severe flood events. The maximum tide height reaches about 20.524 ft at 05:36 AM, comparable to the historical Category 4 event on 12/18/2024, which had a tide height of 20.586 ft and a pressure of 1016.1 hPa. Wind speeds remain low, between 3-6 km/h, with directions ranging from north to northeast, which do not significantly contribute to flood risk. NOAA's flood likelihood increases to 7.7%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -0.64 meters, indicating a higher risk compared to the previous days. Based on these factors and historical data, flooding is likely on Day 3, but major property damage is not anticipated.
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.
