Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding risk is expected. Tide levels will briefly peak near 20 feet, but barometric pressure remains above historically low flood-trigger levels, and winds are light from the east.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:48 PST, with a second high tide mid-afternoon around 16:18 PST.
IMPACTS
No substantial flooding is anticipated. Low-lying roads and shoreline areas are unlikely to experience inundation under these conditions.
• Compared to historical Category 3 and 4 events, the barometric pressure (about 1013–1014 hPa) is not low enough and wind speeds are significantly lower.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is reported at only 0.2%, which is very low relative to previous flood events that had much higher flood-likelihood scores.
• Although the tide height is around 20 ft, the moderate pressure and lighter winds indicate only minimal potential for water intrusion into typically flood-prone areas.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Continued moderate tidal heights (just under 20 feet), with slightly lower early-morning barometric pressure near 1009 hPa, but still above severe flood thresholds.
WHEN
Peak tide is shortly after 06:00 PST, with another elevated tide in the late afternoon/early evening around 17:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are expected. Any minor ponding along shoreline edges should quickly recede.
• Although the barometric pressure dips somewhat (1009 hPa) near the morning high tide, it remains well above the historically critical pressure range (around or below 992.8 hPa).
• NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.1%. Winds are not forecasted from the W/NW at high speeds, so wind-driven coastal surges are unlikely.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Similar conditions persist, with morning high tides reaching just below 20 feet and light to moderate winds. Ambient pressure forecasts hover around 1012 hPa, preventing major flood concerns.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:30 PST, with a secondary high tide mid-to-late afternoon (17:48 PST).
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding or property impacts are expected. Typical low-lying coastal areas should remain largely unaffected.
• Compared with major historical flooding scenarios, both the pressure and tidal heights are less extreme.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is at 0.0% for this date, further supporting a low flood-risk outlook.
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.
