Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant risk of flooding is expected. Tide levels will be relatively high, but well below the critical threshold needed to cause inundation problems.
WHEN
Highest tide around 07:48 PST (approximately 20.28 ft) and an evening peak near 18:42 PST (around 17 ft).
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding is anticipated. Beaches, roads, and low-lying areas should not see flood-related impacts under the current forecast.
• Barometric pressure near 1017.94 hPa is relatively high, reducing the likelihood of combined storm surge conditions.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-01-17 is only 2.8%. Historical flooding events typically involved tides over 21 ft and lower barometric pressure (<1002 hPa). These conditions do not align with a flood scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is projected on Day 2, with the morning tide reaching near 20.14 ft—still under the 21 ft benchmark usually associated with flood risks in this area.
WHEN
Highest tide around 08:12 PST. An additional higher tide occurs near 19:36 PST but remains several feet below typical flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
No roads, parks, or low-lying coastal communities are expected to see water-level encroachment.
• Barometric pressure in the morning is near 1012.18 hPa, which is not low enough to elevate flood risk.
• NOAA reports a mere 1.7% flood likelihood for 2025-01-18. Compared with past flood events, these forecasted conditions remain well below alarm levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no substantial flood risk is indicated. The maximum tide will be slightly below 20 ft, remaining well beneath the critical threshold.
WHEN
Peak tide occurs around 08:36 PST at roughly 19.96 ft. Evening tides are much lower, reducing any potential for flooding further.
IMPACTS
Coastal neighborhoods, roads, and parks should not experience water intrusion or flood-related disruption.
• Barometric pressure is expected near 1020 hPa—still well above levels historically correlated with flooding.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is exceptionally low at 0.5%. With no other exacerbating factors present, conditions do not resemble past flooding events.
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.
Categories 1-2: No risk of flooding.
