Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. High tide levels will peak around 19.9 ft in the early morning hours, but prevailing pressure around 1012 hPa remains well above the critical low threshold, and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
From approximately 5:30 AM PST to 7:00 AM PST, with the peak high tide near 6:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal beach and nearshore conditions are expected, with no property damage or notable road closures predicted.
Comparing these conditions with historical events, the barometric pressure is significantly higher than what has been observed in more severe Category 3 and 4 flood events. Similarly, NOAA’s forecast indicates no heightened flooding concern. Although the tide height is moderately high, the lack of strong onshore winds and relatively stable pressure means flood risk is minimal.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected, despite another fairly high tide near 19.8 ft in the morning. Barometric pressure around 1010–1011 hPa still does not reach the low-pressure thresholds often associated with flood events, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around 6:48 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts are expected. Shorelines and low-lying areas should not experience significant inundation, and there is no indication of damage to property.
Historically, Category 3 or higher events typically combine higher tide levels (often over 20 ft) and noticeably lower barometric pressure. Here, the moderate barometric pressure coupled with calm wind conditions and NOAA’s low flood likelihood supports the conclusion of minimal flooding potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide will be slightly lower than on previous days — around 19.6 ft near the morning hours—but barometric pressure rises above 1021 hPa. Such high pressure further reduces the chance of coastal flooding. NOAA continues to project 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak high tide near 7:12 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts anticipated. Low-lying roads, parks, and beach areas are unlikely to see inundation.
Compared against historical Category 3–5 floods, both the tide height and barometric pressure conditions remain outside the range linked with damaging events. The higher pressure in particular suggests stable weather patterns, decreasing any residual flooding concerns.
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.
