Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Although the morning high tide approaches 19 feet, the barometric pressure remains very high (approximately 1026–1027 hPa), greatly reducing the potential for any flood-related impacts.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:30–09:36 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding issues anticipated. Normal beach and shoreline conditions expected.
Historical data indicates that significantly higher tides combined with low barometric pressures (well under 1000 hPa) are typically needed for flooding to occur. Here, the elevated barometric pressure and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood confirm that no flooding is expected.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding as tides remain below 19 feet. Barometric pressure stays high (1028+ hPa), further minimizing flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide near 10:00–10:12 PST.
IMPACTS
No impacts. Low-lying areas should remain clear of any tidal inundation.
Even though tide levels around 18–19 feet can be notable, historical comparisons show that without correspondingly low pressure or strong onshore winds, flooding risk stays negligible. NOAA’s forecast is again at 0% flood likelihood.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Projected tides stay well below the 21 ft threshold for concern, with stable barometric pressures near 1028–1030 hPa.
WHEN
Slightly higher tide readings possible around mid-to-late morning (09:45–10:00 PST), but still no flood threats expected.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal conditions along the shoreline.
NOAA maintains a 0% flood likelihood. In past moderate flood events, tide heights exceeded 20 ft and barometric pressure dropped below 1010 hPa. None of those conditions apply here, so the risk remains negligible.
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.
