Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is anticipated. Although the morning high tide will be relatively elevated (near 19.6 ft), barometric pressure remains fairly high (around 1016 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood is extremely low (0.1%).
WHEN
Higher tide occurs around mid-morning (approximately 09:06 PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying areas, parks, and roadways should experience normal conditions with no anticipated overtopping.
Compared against historical events, this tide level does not meet or exceed thresholds associated with notable flood events. Past Category 3 or Category 4 floods typically combined higher tides (above 20 ft) with significantly lower barometric pressure or a higher NOAA flood likelihood. Given current high pressure and near-zero flood likelihood, the risk remains in the no-flood range.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is indicated. Expected maximum tides near 19.3 ft coincide with even higher barometric pressure (above 1028 hPa) and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Peak tidal height occurs around mid-morning (approximately 09:36 PST).
IMPACTS
No expected flooding of roads or coastal neighborhoods. Normal tidal variations should continue without property impacts.
Historical data shows Category 3 and above events typically feature more extreme tides (>20 ft) and/or lower barometric pressure. Today’s conditions, while producing a moderately high tide, are countered by very stable high pressure readings and minimal wind influence.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impact is anticipated. The highest tide (near 18.9 ft) occurs under high pressure (above 1028 hPa), and NOAA assesses 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Morning high tide around 10:12 PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding or inundation is predicted for coastal or low-lying areas.
Similar to previous days, the predicted tide height is below the level historically associated with flooding, particularly as strong atmospheric pressure and low flood-likelihood indicators reduce the chance of any coastal spillover.
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.
Category 3: Close to a flood event and worth monitoring.
Category 4: Flooding is likely however, it is uncertain if this will cause major property damage.
Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
