Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tides will peak near 19.65–19.90 ft early in the day, but with high barometric pressure around 1023 hPa and very low NOAA flood likelihood (0.1%), conditions are unfavorable for flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide and thus the most watch-worthy period occurs around 05:06 AM PST on 2025-01-27.
IMPACTS
No direct road closures or inundation are anticipated. Low-lying areas in immediate coastal zones may see minor water encroachment along the shoreline, but flooding is not expected.
Tide levels remain below the 21 ft benchmark commonly associated with flood events. Historical Category 3 and 4 floods involved both higher tides (usually exceeding 20.5 ft) and significantly lower barometric pressures (<1016 hPa). Here, barometric pressure is notably higher, reducing the likelihood of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no notable flooding is anticipated. Morning high tide near 05:30 AM PST will approach 19.9–20.0 ft, with prevailing high barometric pressure (about 1023.75 hPa) limiting flood risk. NOAA projects only a 0.4% flood likelihood for this date.
WHEN
Greatest tidal levels will be during the early morning hours on 2025-01-28.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are expected. Minor ponding along very low-lying coastal zones may occur, but conditions should not result in flooding casualties or property damage.
Compared with historical Category 3 flood events—often featuring tides above 20.5 ft and/or barometric pressure below 1020 hPa—these forecast conditions remain comfortably below known flood thresholds. Light winds from NNE (generally under 5 mph) further reduce surge potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood event is forecast. The peak tide is projected near 20.1–20.15 ft early in the day, paired with a pressure of approximately 1025 hPa. NOAA’s stated flood likelihood (1.7%) remains minimal.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs near 05:54 AM PST, 2025-01-29.
IMPACTS
No known threats to roadways or infrastructure. Low-lying shoreline areas could see minor water encroachment, but not enough for meaningful inundation.
Historically, Category 3 occurrences (20.68 ft tide, barometric ~1020 hPa) also correlated with significantly higher NOAA flood-likelihood percentages. Current high pressure and lower NOAA flood risk both point to limited concern for flooding on this date as well.
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.
