Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-02-18

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Forecast data shows tide heights around 19 feet at peak, but the high barometric pressures (above 1020 hPa) and NOAA’s reported 0% flood likelihood both indicate no significant risk of inundation.

WHEN
Highest tide near 08:06 AM PST.

IMPACTS
No known property or roadway flooding impacts anticipated. Water levels should remain comfortably below typical flood thresholds.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure is quite high (above 1029 hPa), which historically reduces the chance of severe coastal flooding. Winds are light and generally from the SSE, further lessening onshore push. Compared with past Category 3 or higher floods, these conditions do not align with notable flood events.


Day 2: 2025-02-19

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Peak tides remain below critical heights, with barometric pressures around or above 1037 hPa, which is significantly higher than historical flood-prone conditions.

WHEN
Primary high tides occur mid-afternoon, approximately 14:42–16:36 PM PST.

IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas and shorelines are expected to remain unaffected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Historical comparison shows that even tides near 17–19 feet can produce flooding only under considerably lower pressure (below ~1000 hPa) or strong onshore winds. Current data indicate neither of those risk factors. NOAA continues to report a 0% flood likelihood.


Day 3: 2025-02-20

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides are projected around 17–18 feet, paired with high barometric pressure (about 1034–1035 hPa), falling well short of typical flood-triggering scenarios.

WHEN
Highest tides occur early morning (around 09:06 AM PST) and late afternoon (approximately 17:48 PM PST).

IMPACTS
No known areas of concern for Day 3. Flooding is not anticipated in residential or commercial regions along the shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Both observed and forecast conditions remain more stable than any historical flood events used for comparison. Persistent high pressure and minimal onshore wind diminish the likelihood of water levels breaching typical flood thresholds.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
