Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides around mid-day reaching approximately 18.7 ft, combined with very high barometric pressure (about 1031 hPa). No flooding is expected.
WHEN
Highest tide near 11:00 AM through mid-afternoon.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Typical low-lying areas along the immediate shoreline should remain unaffected.
Although tide levels are moderately high for this region, the barometric pressure is substantially higher than in historical flooding events, which reduces storm surge potential. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for this date is 0.0%, indicating no significant risk of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Another day of moderate high tides reaching near or just above 19 ft, but again accompanied by high barometric pressure exceeding 1032 hPa.
WHEN
Peak tide occurs in the early morning hours (around 3:30 AM) and midday (around 12:18 PM).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding or inundation is anticipated. Shorelines, driveways, and roads are expected to remain clear.
Even though the tide height is comparably higher than Day 1, the barometric pressure remains well above the levels historically linked with flood events. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%. Wind speeds are light, offering no indication of wind-driven surge.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tide heights could briefly exceed 19.5 ft, the highest of the three-day span, but with a still-elevated barometric pressure near 1025–1026 hPa.
WHEN
Primary high tide around early afternoon (roughly 1:30 PM) and again late afternoon (around 6:24 PM).
IMPACTS
No significant flood-related issues are expected. No property damage is anticipated, and roads should remain open.
Historical Category 3 or 4 flood events had lower barometric pressures (often below 1016 hPa) paired with higher tide peaks (over 20 ft). Here, barometric pressure remains high, and NOAA’s daily flood likelihood is still reported at 0.0%. This combination strongly suggests no flood risk for Day 3.
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.
