Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will near 19.9 ft in the early morning, but high barometric pressure (around 1024 hPa) and low NOAA flood likelihood (0.4%) suggest limited chance of any coastal inundation.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated in low-lying coastal areas at this time.
Barometric pressure is notably higher than the pressures observed during past flood events. NOAA’s 0.4% flood likelihood is substantially lower than the 8–10% typically associated with even minor (Category 3 or above) flooding in historical data. Consequently, projected conditions do not approach flood thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding despite a slightly higher morning tide of approximately 20.1 ft. The barometric pressure remains elevated (above 1025 hPa), which reduces the potential for overflow. NOAA’s flood likelihood for this day is still very low (1.7%).
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No known impacts. Local shorelines and roads are expected to remain unaffected.
Even though the tide reaches about 20 ft, historical moderate flood events (Category 3+) have typically coincided with much lower pressure and higher NOAA flood likelihood scores. Present forecasts show neither condition aligning for a flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding anticipated. While tide heights may briefly peak near 20.3–20.4 ft just after dawn, very high barometric pressure (above 1027 hPa) and only a 3.6% flood likelihood from NOAA point to stable, non-flooding conditions.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:18 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding impacts; low-lying areas and coastal roads should remain clear.
Although the predicted tide is slightly higher than Days 1 and 2, the barometric pressure far exceeds historical low-pressure flooding benchmarks. Past Category 3 or 4 floods involved lower pressures, often below 1006–1016 hPa. With pressure near 1028 hPa and minimal NOAA flood likelihood, conditions remain well below flood thresholds.
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.
