Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impacts are anticipated. Water levels will be relatively high (peaking around 19.8 ft near the morning high tide), but barometric pressure is not unusually low (around 1012.7 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:48 AM PST on February 15, with relatively lower evening high tide.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding expected. Minor ponding in the most low-lying coastal areas is possible, but not likely to cause damage or closures.
• Historical events with tides near or above 20 ft often saw lower pressure (around or below ~1002 hPa) and/or a higher NOAA flood likelihood.
• Today’s barometric pressure is too high to combine with these tide levels for a notable flood risk.
• NOAA’s official flood threshold analysis shows a 0% flood likelihood warning for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Similar conditions persist, with a mid-morning high tide near 19.7 ft but still elevated barometric pressure around 1020.8 hPa. Flood risk remains negligible.
WHEN
Highest tide near 07:12 AM PST on February 16.
IMPACTS
Again, minimal to no flooding impacts are anticipated.
• Although tide heights are moderately high, the pressure remains well above the low-pressure thresholds historically associated with flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood rating is 0% for February 16, further reducing any concerns of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impacts expected. Morning and evening high tides approach about 19.4–19.6 ft, with even higher barometric pressure around 1026 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tides near 07:36 AM PST and again around 08:24 PM PST on February 17.
IMPACTS
No known flooding concerns.
• Barometric pressure is significantly higher than the ~992–1002 hPa range seen in historical flood events.
• NOAA indicates 0% flood likelihood for this date.
• Wind direction in the forecast data is mostly from the SE or E, which historically poses less risk of driving water inland compared to a strong W/NW wind.
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.
