Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides are expected to reach approximately 19.98 ft in the early morning hours. Barometric pressure remains relatively high at around 1022 hPa, and NOAA indicates a very low flood likelihood (0.1%).
WHEN
Primary high tide near 04:54 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding is expected. Low-lying areas and shorelines should remain unaffected under these conditions.
• Compared to historical flooding events with lower barometric pressure and higher tides, Day 1 conditions are more stable.
• NOAA’s 0.1% flood likelihood aligns with a minimal-risk scenario.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Morning high tide near or slightly above 20 ft combined with moderately lower barometric pressure (~1015 hPa). While the overall flood likelihood remains low (0.2%), tides and pressure levels warrant monitoring.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 05:24 AM PST, with a secondary high tide in the mid-afternoon.
IMPACTS
Close to a flood event. Likely minor effects along low-lying shoreline areas, but significant property damage is not anticipated.
• Historical Cat 3 events typically feature tide heights of around 20 ft and relatively higher pressures. These current conditions align closely with that category, although the pressure is slightly lower this time.
• Winds are expected to stay light to moderate, further reducing overall flood potential compared to severe historical events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains below 1%, reinforcing that major flooding is unlikely.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Another morning high tide around 20 ft, with barometric pressure near 1013 hPa. Although this pressure is lower than on Day 2, the tidal forecast is comparable, keeping the risk profile close to Day 2 conditions.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 05:48 AM PST, with a secondary high tide in the late afternoon.
IMPACTS
Close to a flood event and worth monitoring. Minor impacts possible in very low-lying areas, but significant flooding or property damage is unlikely.
• Historical data shows more severe floods require either tides above 21 ft or notably lower pressures. Neither condition is met here.
• NOAA flood likelihood is still under 1%, indicating a limited risk of widespread inundation.
• Winds remain mild, reducing wave action and further lessening flood threat.
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.
