Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is anticipated. Tide levels will be fairly high (peaking near 19.8 ft) but barometric pressure around 1012.7 hPa remains well above the critical low-pressure threshold, reducing the overall flood risk.
WHEN
The highest tide is expected around 06:48 PST. Conditions will remain stable throughout the day.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are expected. Shoreline areas should remain largely unaffected, with regular marine activity continuing as normal.
• Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, barometric pressure is much higher and tides are slightly below the more dangerous 20+ ft seen in those events.
• NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% likelihood of flooding for this date, reinforcing the low-risk assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. High tide will approach but not surpass critical levels, and barometric pressure near 1020.7 hPa remains comfortably above low-pressure danger zones.
WHEN
Peak tide is around 07:12 PST, with no notable weather influences expected thereafter.
IMPACTS
No material impacts to coastal infrastructure are anticipated. All shoreline and low-lying zones should remain unaffected.
• Historically, more severe flood events involve tides over 20 ft coupled with much lower atmospheric pressure.
• NOAA data shows a 0.0% flood likelihood for Day 2, aligning with these stable conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is forecast. Although local tides will be high (around 19.2–19.4 ft), barometric pressure readings are very high (around 1025.8 hPa), signifying stable conditions.
WHEN
Highest tides will occur near 07:36 PST and again around 20:24 PST, but both coincide with high atmospheric pressure, minimizing flood potential.
IMPACTS
Little to no coastal impact is expected. Normal beach and near-shore activities are unlikely to be disrupted.
• In comparison to historical Category 4 or 5 events, today’s pressure is significantly higher, and NOAA indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding.
• Winds are relatively light, which further reduces any risk of storm surge or wave-driven flooding.
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.
