Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk is anticipated. While the tide height will approach approximately 19.88 ft, moderate barometric pressure (around 1012 hPa) and a NOAA flood likelihood of 0% indicate no substantial coastal flooding threat.
WHEN
Highest water levels are expected near 6:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying areas and shorelines should remain unaffected.
• Compared to previous Category 3 or higher events, this forecast’s tide height is somewhat high but not extreme.
• Barometric pressure remains above concerning thresholds (well above 992.8 hPa).
• NOAA’s low flood likelihood (0.0%) further supports minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no significant flood risk is forecast. Predicted peak tide near 19.80 ft and barometric pressure (about 1010–1017 hPa) do not match historical flood-trigger conditions. NOAA’s ongoing 0% flood likelihood also indicates minimal risk.
WHEN
The highest tides occur around 6:48 AM PST and again in the early evening (approximately 6:36 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No adverse coastal flooding or property-related concerns are expected.
• Tides remain below the 21 ft threshold often associated with more serious events.
• Conditions differ substantially from historical Category 4–5 events, which combined near or above 20–22 ft tides with notably lower pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Minimal flood risk continues. Although forecasted high tide (~19.66 ft) is relatively elevated, barometric pressure is expected to remain high (around 1020 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%, suggesting no imminent flooding.
WHEN
Peak water levels appear near 7:12 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No impacts to property or infrastructure are anticipated.
• This scenario contrasts with previous Category 3 situations (e.g., ~20.68 ft tides) and lower pressure. Here, both conditions and NOAA outlook remain benign.
• Winds do not indicate a strong onshore flow from the W/NW that historically contributes to flooding in this area.
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.
