Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Although high tide will reach around 18 feet in the morning, the barometric pressure remains very high—well above historical flood thresholds—and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0%.
WHEN
Heaviest tidal peaks during the morning hours (approximately 08:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST), with another high tide in the late afternoon/evening.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas along the shoreline are unlikely to see any inundation under these conditions.
Barometric pressure readings above 1034 hPa during peak tides are significantly higher than pressures observed in past flood events. Recorded tide heights (around 18 ft) may be moderately high, but the absence of low pressure and the NOAA forecast of a 0% flood likelihood indicates no flood risk for Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding expected. Tides remain moderately high but continue to coincide with very high barometric pressures and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood forecast.
WHEN
Morning high tide near 09:48 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts. Coastal areas, roads, and low-lying spots should remain accessible with no anticipated closures or inundation.
Despite a tide height somewhat comparable to certain historical events, the barometric pressure (above 1037 hPa) is notably higher than it was in past floods. Historical Category 3–5 floods typically involved lower pressure (below 1006 hPa) and higher tides (20 ft+). These calm conditions keep Day 2 well within a no-flood-risk range.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding expected. Peak tides rise close to 17–18 ft, but barometric pressure remains high at around 1035 hPa, and NOAA’s outlook stays at 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide late morning to midday (around 10:48 AM PST), with another elevated tide in the evening.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or property impacts. Shoreline recreation and activities should remain unaffected by tidal conditions.
Comparisons with historical flood instances show that flood events typically require both higher tides (often 20+ ft) and significantly lower barometric pressures (generally well under 1005 hPa). In contrast, Day 3 sees high pressure, moderate winds, and a NOAA projection indicating minimal flood risk.
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.
