Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on this day. Tides near 20 ft coincide with relatively high barometric pressures above 1022 hPa, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains very low.
WHEN
Highest tides will occur around 04:54 AM and 02:30 PM PST, but neither is forecast to produce flood concerns.
IMPACTS
No inundation or flood-related impacts are anticipated for coastal or low-lying areas.
Tide levels hovering around 19.9–20.0 ft do not exceed the typical threshold for coastal flooding when paired with a high barometric pressure. Historical moderate flood events (e.g., Category 3 or 4) have generally involved lower barometric pressures or higher tide levels. NOAA indicates only a 0.1% chance of flooding, reinforcing the low risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides peak near 20 ft in the early morning, but the barometric pressure is not sufficiently low to cause concern.
WHEN
Highest tidal levels occur around 05:24 AM and 03:24 PM PST, with barometric pressures around 1015.7 hPa and 1020.4 hPa respectively—still relatively high compared to past flood events.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding or property damage. No road closures or disruption to coastal areas anticipated.
Although the tide height reaches about 20 ft, it is below the more hazardous 21+ ft levels seen in historical Category 4–5 events. The barometric pressure remains much higher than the low-pressure systems that typically accompany flooding. NOAA’s likelihood (0.2%) confirms a minimal threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. Despite another high tide near 20 ft, the barometric pressure (hovering around 1013–1014 hPa) is not close to the historically low readings associated with more serious flooding.
WHEN
Primary concern times would be around 05:48 AM and 04:18 PM PST. However, conditions are not expected to produce any flooding.
IMPACTS
No flooding or damages. Local shorelines, neighborhoods, and infrastructure are unlikely to be affected.
In earlier Category 3 or 4 events, tides near or above 20 ft occurred with notably lower atmospheric pressure or stronger onshore winds. Here, NOAA again projects very low flood potential (0.2%). The tide height is significant but insufficient for flooding when combined with this comparatively moderate pressure.
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.
