Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Based on the data provided, tidal levels could approach higher-than-average heights (near 19.9 ft) but remain below historically significant flooding thresholds. Barometric pressure is relatively high (around 1019–1023 hPa) and NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast is extremely low (0.1%). Together, these factors point to no substantial risk of coastal flooding on this day.
WHEN
Highest tides will occur in the morning hours (around 09:24 PST) and again mid-afternoon (around 15:00 PST), but are not expected to cause flooding.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Shoreline areas may see typical higher-water conditions, but no inundation of roadways or property is expected.
• Compared to past Category 3 or 4 events, current barometric pressure is much higher, and the maximum projected tide is below the more critical 20+ ft levels that correlated with moderate flood events in the past.
• NOAA’s projection of a negligible flood likelihood reinforces the conclusion of no flood risk for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tidal forecasts show peak heights near 19.3 ft, coupled with a continuing pattern of high barometric pressure (above 1022 hPa). NOAA reports a 0% flood likelihood for this date, indicating no expected coastal flooding.
WHEN
The highest tide is expected mid-morning (around 10:12 PST).
IMPACTS
No inundation or significant shoreline flooding is anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations should not affect roadways or low-lying properties.
• Even though the tide height is moderately elevated, it remains below levels historically associated with flood events.
• Winds and barometric pressures do not indicate the intensified conditions that have accompanied floods in the past.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Forecast data shows a continuing trend of relatively high pressure (above 1027 hPa) and tides below critical flood thresholds (about 18.7–19 ft), with NOAA estimating 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tides will occur around late morning (approximately 11:12 PST) and again in the late afternoon (16:36 PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Higher water levels near the shoreline will remain typical, without impact to local infrastructure.
• These projected conditions are well below historical flood benchmarks (over 20+ ft tides with lower barometric pressure).
• Calm wind conditions from generally northerly or easterly directions reduce onshore push, and the stable high pressure environment further suppresses any flood potential.
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.
