Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on 2025-02-20. High tides approach 18 feet, but the barometric pressure is very high (~1035+ hPa), and NOAA reports a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest daily tides occur near 09:06 PST and again at 17:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected, and no road closures are expected based on the current data.
Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, these tide levels (around 18 ft) are below historical flooding thresholds and accompanied by much higher barometric pressure than events that led to coastal flooding. NOAA’s data shows no indication of flood risk for 2025-02-20.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impacts expected. Even though tides will again reach around 17.5+ feet, barometric pressure remains very high (~1036–1038 hPa), and NOAA assigns a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tides projected around 01:12 PST and 09:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No known impacts to shoreline areas or travel routes.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than in any historical flooding event, and combined with moderate wind speeds, conditions do not align with past Category 3 or higher floods. NOAA’s forecast suggests no substantial risk on 2025-02-21.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected for 2025-02-22. Tides may briefly approach 17.7 feet during the overnight hours, but barometric pressure remains above typical flood-trigger ranges (~1035 hPa). NOAA again indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides near 02:42–02:48 PST and another elevated tide during the early evening, but both remain below flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
No flooding concerns or notable impacts in low-lying areas.
Historical comparisons show that serious flooding in Redondo Beach typically requires tides closer to or above 20 ft combined with significantly lower barometric pressures. These forecasts, with moderate tide heights under 18 ft and very high pressure, align with a Category 2 “no risk” scenario.
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.
