Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. While the early morning high tide may reach around 19.0 ft, the barometric pressure remains very high (above 1029 hPa), significantly reducing any flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide period is around 07:30 AM to 08:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts are anticipated. Coastal areas should remain unaffected, with normal beach and shoreline activity expected.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a 0.0% chance of flooding.
• Compared to historical flood events (which typically require lower barometric pressure and tides exceeding 20 ft), current conditions do not align with any significant flood risk.
• Winds are light and from the south, offering minimal additional onshore push of seawater.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The highest tide peaks below 19 ft, and barometric pressure remains exceptionally high (around 1037 hPa).
WHEN
Highest tide period primarily during the mid-morning hours, around 07:30 AM to 08:30 AM PST, with a secondary high tide mid-afternoon.
IMPACTS
No notable flood impacts are expected along the coastline or in low-lying areas.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood forecast continues at 0.0%.
• These tidal and atmospheric conditions are well above the barometric thresholds typically associated with coastal flooding in historical data.
• Wind speeds and directions do not indicate any significant onshore flow that might elevate tidal surges.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected, despite moderate high tides approaching the upper teens (about 18 ft). Barometric pressure is still strong (above 1035 hPa).
WHEN
Expect the highest tide in the early morning (around 08:00–09:00 AM PST) and another peak in the early evening.
IMPACTS
No discernible impacts from these tide levels are anticipated. Shoreline and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• Historical Category 3+ floods have generally occurred at or above 20 ft tide heights combined with much lower atmospheric pressure. Current tidal levels and barometric readings indicate minimal flood risk.
• Moderate southern winds do not pose sufficient onshore force to raise water levels further.
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.
