Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but unlikely to cause flood damage. Minor coastal flooding is not expected but conditions are noteworthy for observation.
WHEN From 06:00 AM to 08:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor tidal overflow possible in very low-lying coastal areas. No significant property damage anticipated.
The barometric pressure is 1014.35 hPa, which is higher than in historical severe flood events, indicating stable weather conditions and reducing the likelihood of significant flooding. The tide height at the morning high tide is 20.502 ft, comparable to previous Category 3 events like the one on 01/06/2025 with a tide height of 20.68 ft. Wind speeds are low at approximately 2.5 mph from the NNE (16°), which is not expected to contribute to coastal flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood is reported as High at 7.2%, with a distance to threshold of -0.66m, suggesting conditions are close to a flood event but not expected to cause damage. Comparing these factors with historical data, the conditions align with a Category 3 event, warranting monitoring but not significant concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No specific risk period identified.
IMPACTS No impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure is higher at 1023.56 hPa, indicating very stable weather conditions and further reducing flood risk. The tide height at the morning high tide is 20.390 ft, slightly lower than Day 1 and below levels associated with past flooding events. Wind speeds are minimal at approximately 1.9 mph from the SSW (213°), and are not expected to influence tidal conditions. NOAA's flood likelihood is Low at 4.2%, with a distance to threshold of -0.81m, indicating a low probability of flooding. The combination of high barometric pressure, lower tide heights, and minimal wind impact suggests that flooding is not a concern on this day, aligning with a Category 2 classification.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No specific risk period identified.
IMPACTS No impacts anticipated.
Barometric pressure is stable at 1019.21 hPa, remaining above levels associated with increased flood risk. The tide height at the morning high tide is 20.276 ft, continuing a slight downward trend from previous days. Wind speeds are very low at approximately 0.6 mph from the NNE (12°), which is negligible in terms of influencing tidal conditions. NOAA's flood likelihood is Low at 2.8%, with a distance to threshold of -0.91m, the lowest likelihood among the three days. These factors indicate conditions are typical for the season with no expectation of flooding, consistent with a Category 2 classification.
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.
