Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-01-18

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. The highest tide of around 20.14 ft is predicted near 08:12 AM PST with a mean barometric pressure of approximately 1011.76 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date remains low at 1.7%.

WHEN
From around 07:30 AM PST to 09:30 AM PST, when tide levels peak.

IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas and shoreline roads should remain largely unaffected under these conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Compared to historical events, this tide level is similar to some Category 3 events but is accompanied by a higher barometric pressure than required for significant coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s low flood likelihood (1.7%) supports a reduced flood concern.
• Winds are light and not expected to exacerbate tidal effects.


Day 2: 2025-01-19

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. The highest tide is expected near 20:42 PST, with a mean barometric pressure of about 1020.98 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood stands at 0.5%.

WHEN
From about 08:00 PM PST to 10:00 PM PST, coinciding with the evening high tide.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Minimal water intrusion, if any, is expected in low-lying coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• The barometric pressure is relatively high, further reducing flood chances.
• Tidal heights are lower than those typically associated with historical Category 4 or higher events.
• NOAA’s very low flood likelihood reaffirms minimal flood concerns.


Day 3: 2025-01-20

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. The highest tides occur near 09:06 AM and again around 10:00 PM PST, with barometric pressures hovering around 1017.17 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood is extremely low at 0.1%.

WHEN
• Morning high tide from 08:30 AM PST to 10:00 AM PST.
• Evening high tide roughly from 09:30 PM PST to 11:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Conditions are not conducive to coastal water intrusion onto roads or property.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Tide heights remain below levels historically seen in Category 3 or higher flood events.
• The relatively stable barometric pressure and calm wind conditions make flooding very unlikely.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
