Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although morning high tide reaches around 19.42 ft, atmospheric pressure is notably high, and NOAA assigns a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide near 07:36 PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. No property impacts or closures expected.
A tide level of approximately 19.42 ft could be cause for minor concern during low-pressure conditions, but the barometric pressure on 2025-02-17 is around 1025.7 hPa, which is substantially higher than in past flood events. Historical Category 3 and above events typically coincide with lower barometric pressures (around or below 1006 hPa) or tide levels over 21 ft. NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood further confirms minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Projected high tides remain elevated but still below critical thresholds, and the barometric pressure remains significantly higher than in historical flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide near 08:06 PST.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding of low-lying areas. Transportation routes near the shoreline should remain unaffected.
Even with tidal levels near 19 ft, the mean sea level pressure near 1030 hPa is much higher than pressures historically associated with coastal flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood analysis again indicates a 0% chance of flooding. Wind speeds and directions are not aligned with previous flood-contributing patterns, reducing the overall threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides remain relatively high but well below the more critical 21 ft mark, and barometric pressure remains very high.
WHEN
Morning and early afternoon tides, particularly around 08:30 PST (approximately 18.57 ft), are the highest points of the day.
IMPACTS
No anticipated roadway or property inundation. Normal daily activities can proceed without concern for flooding.
High-pressure readings around 1033 hPa greatly reduce the flooding potential. Historically, Category 3 and above events have occurred when barometric pressures were notably lower or tides exceeded 20+ ft. NOAA’s 0% daily flood likelihood corroborates minimal risk for Day 3.
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.
