Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on this day, even though tide heights will briefly approach the higher teens during mid-morning.
WHEN
Primary high tides occur around mid-morning and late afternoon (notably near 14:42 PST and 16:36 PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal coastal activity is expected to continue without disruption.
• Barometric pressures around 1036 hPa are significantly higher than in historical flood events, sharply reducing the threat of coastal flooding.
• Tide levels reach the upper teens (up to about 18.5 ft), but given the high pressure and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood, conditions favor no flood risk.
• Historical Category 3–5 flood events required much lower pressure (often near or below 1000 hPa) coupled with possible wind-driven surge above 20 ft. These factors are absent here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Elevated morning tides will reach the higher teens, but high barometric pressure keeps any flood risk minimal.
WHEN
Highest tides occur near 09:06 PST and again in late afternoon around 17:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No inundation of coastal areas or property is anticipated.
• The barometric pressure near high tide (approximately 1035–1038 hPa) remains well above the historic flood-trigger ranges, mitigating any surge risk.
• NOAA data shows a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date, with a comfortable margin below flood thresholds.
• Prevailing winds from the south are moderate and do not historically correlate with significant storm surge in this area.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Coastal flooding remains unlikely. Tides again near the upper teens, but barometric pressure remains high, limiting flood potential.
WHEN
Peak high tides around 01:12 PST and 09:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated effect on roads, shorelines, or low-lying property.
• Barometric pressure readings hover between 1035 and 1039 hPa—well above levels linked with flooding historically.
• NOAA’s analysis indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding, sustaining minimal concern into Friday.
• Compared to past Category 4–5 events that featured substantially lower pressure (near or below 1000 hPa) and higher tides over 20 ft, current conditions are far less severe.
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.
