Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected throughout the day. High tides will reach approximately 18.77 ft, but the barometric pressure remains quite high (near 1031 hPa), reducing any flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide around mid-to-late morning (near 11:12 AM).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated.
Compared to historical events, today’s tide level is below the 21 ft mark typically associated with higher flood risk. The barometric pressure (well above 992.8 hPa) also indicates stable conditions. NOAA’s flood likelihood is reported at 0.0%. These factors align to produce minimal flood risk, categorizing Day 1 as Category 2 (no risk).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is forecast. While tides approach the upper teens (about 18.99 ft at their peak), the barometric pressure remains high (above 1032 hPa), keeping conditions stable.
WHEN
Highest tides are around early morning (03:30 AM) and midday (12:18 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected.
Historical records show significantly lower barometric pressures during past flood events. In contrast, Day 2 has notably high pressure and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%. These factors continue to suggest no flood concerns, consistent with a Category 2 rating.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No appreciable flood risk is indicated. Although tides could approach around 19.65 ft at peak, the barometric pressure remains elevated (about 1025.8 hPa), tempering any potential flooding issues.
WHEN
Highest tides will occur around early morning (04:00 AM – 04:30 AM) and again mid-afternoon to evening (1:30 PM & 6:24 PM), but remain below critical flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated.
Even though Day 3’s highest tide is near 19.6 ft, this is still below the 20+ ft levels seen in some Category 3 or 4 historical events, and the barometric pressure is not low enough to raise concerns. NOAA’s daily flood likelihood is 0.0%. Therefore, flooding remains unlikely, matching a Category 2 outlook.
