Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Although the morning high tide will reach approximately 20.4 ft, barometric pressure remains higher than typical flooding thresholds, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is low.
WHEN
Highest tide near 08:48 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding or damage is expected. Areas along the shoreline are unlikely to see more than typical high-tide conditions.
• Barometric pressure at the peak high tide is around 1021 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during past flooding events.
• NOAA indicates a flood likelihood of only 2.7%, further reducing any risk concerns.
• Winds are relatively light and generally out of the north, not favoring onshore surges that might elevate water levels further.
• Compared to historical Category 3 events, the combination of higher barometric pressure and low NOAA flooding percentages suggests minimal threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated on Day 2. The highest tide is forecast to reach near 20.0 ft, still accompanied by relatively high barometric pressure and very low NOAA flood likelihood.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 09:24 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding issues are expected. Normal tidal fluctuations should pose no threat to low-lying areas.
• Barometric pressure remains around or above 1019 hPa, which historically correlates with lower flood risk.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is only 0.1%.
• Conditions do not match past Category 3 or higher flood scenarios, which typically included significantly lower barometric pressure and higher NOAA warning thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The highest tide could reach about 19.3 ft, but with continued high barometric pressure and effectively zero NOAA flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak high tide near 10:12 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or property impacts.
• Pressure around 1020 hPa and low wind speeds reduce the risk of storm surge or coastal overtopping.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is at 0.0%, which is consistent with no anticipated issues.
• Compared to historical moderate or high-risk flood events, these tides remain less likely to produce any inundation under current atmospheric conditions.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop, although current data indicates no flood risk at this time.
• 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.
