Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is anticipated. Tides will reach around the 19-foot range, but barometric pressure remains high, and NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
High tide peaks late morning (around 10:00–10:30 AM PST).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
Historical Category 3 or higher events typically involved tide heights near or above 20 feet combined with lower barometric pressure. Here, pressure readings are over 1020 hPa, which lessens flood risk. NOAA’s analysis for this date confirms minimal flood potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides remain below thresholds historically linked to inundation.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs midday (close to 11:00 AM PST), but still well below critical flood levels.
IMPACTS
No known flooding or road impacts are expected under these conditions.
Barometric pressure around 1031 hPa is significantly higher than in past flood events. NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0%. These factors indicate continued benign coastal conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding concerns. While tides remain moderately high, they do not reach the critical 21-foot range, and atmospheric pressure stays high.
WHEN
Morning high tide (around 03:00–04:00 AM PST) followed by another midday peak; neither is expected to pose flood risk.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated in normally flood-prone areas.
Comparisons to past Category 4 and 5 events show both tide and pressure levels are far from significant flood triggers. NOAA’s outlook remains at 0% for flooding, and wind speeds do not appear strong enough to exacerbate coastal inundation.
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.
