Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Coastal water levels could be somewhat elevated, but still remain well below established flooding thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around early morning (approximately 04:00–05:00 PST) and again mid-afternoon. Barometric pressure during these times remains relatively high (~1025 hPa).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Usual beach and shoreline activities can proceed without significant concern regarding high water levels.
Based on the tide data (peaking around 19.65 ft) and a high barometric pressure near 1025 hPa, conditions compare to low-risk historical events. NOAA’s daily flood likelihood analysis also projects near 0%, reinforcing that no flood conditions are expected.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide heights are forecast around 20.0 ft at peak but remain below typical flood thresholds.
WHEN
Peak high tide occurs just before sunrise (~04:54 PST) and in the early afternoon (~14:30 PST). Barometric pressure remains elevated between 1021–1023 hPa.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or property impacts. Coastal areas and low-lying roads are expected to remain clear of tidal inundation.
Although the morning high tide is near 20.0 ft, the barometric pressure is significantly higher than levels historically associated with flooding. NOAA indicates only a 0.1% flood likelihood, well below the threshold for concern compared to past moderate or severe flood events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Morning high tide may reach about 20.1 ft, with barometric pressure around 1016 hPa—still not low enough to cause concern.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around early morning (~05:24 PST) and mid-afternoon (~15:24 PST). Despite a slightly lower pressure than on prior days, it remains well above critical flood-event levels.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated. Minor fluctuations along the shoreline may be visible, but water should stay below problem thresholds.
Comparisons with previous Category 3 or higher events show that those situations typically combined lower barometric pressures (below ~1002 hPa) with tides exceeding 20.5–21 ft and higher NOAA flood likelihoods. Here, the pressure remains relatively high and NOAA’s flood likelihood is only at 0.2%. This suggests conditions will remain below flood risk thresholds.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any potential Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should unexpected 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.
