Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach heights around 18.5 ft, but the barometric pressure is very high (over 1029 hPa), which greatly reduces any flood potential.
WHEN
Early to late morning hours when tides are highest (approximately 02:00 through 10:54 PST), continuing into early evening.
IMPACTS
No direct flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations with no property damage or travel disruptions expected.
The highest observed tide (~18.5 ft) falls below the 21 ft benchmark typically associated with coastal flooding in this region. Additionally, barometric pressures are substantially higher than in past moderate or severe flood events, further indicating minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Forecast tides are below critical levels, and the barometric pressure remains unusually high (around 1036–1037 hPa), indicating stable weather conditions.
WHEN
Morning to midday hours (around 11:36 PST) and again in the late evening are the main high tide periods, but neither is expected to cause any flooding.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts. Beachgoers and boaters can anticipate regular tidal variations without flood-related issues.
Compared with historical flooding thresholds, these tides (about 18 ft) and pressures far exceed the stable-weather baseline. Past Category 3–4 events involved either higher tides (over 20 ft) or significantly lower pressure around 1006–1016 hPa. No NOAA flood likelihood data are available, but all indicators point to safe conditions.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No risk of flooding. While tides may reach around 18.6 ft early in the morning, the barometric pressure is forecasted to remain above 1033 hPa, preventing the conditions necessary for flooding.
WHEN
Highest water levels during the early morning hours (around 04:06 PST) and near midday (around 12:30 PST). No flood impacts are expected at these times.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts are expected for Day 3. Tidal action will be normal, with no hazards to property or travel.
This day’s tidal peaks are comparable to Day 1 and Day 2 and remain below critical flooding levels. Historical records show more severe events typically coincide with tide heights of 20+ ft accompanied by much lower barometric pressures (<1002 hPa). Conditions here do not approach those thresholds.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any possible
changes. Those living in low-lying areas should always stay prepared
to take action should an unexpected rise in water levels 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.
