Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA


Day 1: 2025-02-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although morning high tide will reach approximately 17.56 ft, the barometric pressure is very high (well above 992.8 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood is at 0%. These factors indicate no substantial risk of coastal flooding.

WHEN
Highest tide near 09:48 AM PST.

IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Typical low-lying areas should remain clear of flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Compared to past events around 17–18 ft when barometric pressure was much lower and NOAA flagged a flood likelihood, today’s strong high pressure (over 1035 hPa) keeps conditions stable. This places the day’s potential firmly in a no-risk category.


Day 2: 2025-02-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. High tide levels may near 17.70 ft early in the morning, but again, barometric pressure remains unusually high (about 1037 hPa) and NOAA’s outlook remains at 0% flood likelihood.

WHEN
Highest tide near 02:42–03:00 AM PST and again late morning around 10:48 AM PST.

IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding impacts are expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Historically, tide heights in the 17–18 ft range have contributed to minor flooding only when paired with lower barometric pressures (around or below 1006 hPa) and moderate-to-high NOAA flood likelihoods. Neither condition applies to Day 2, ensuring a continued low risk.


Day 3: 2025-02-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. The early morning tide may briefly reach around 18.34 ft near 03:30 AM PST but remains below thresholds historically linked to flooding. Pressure stays comparatively high (above 1028 hPa), and NOAA still indicates a 0% flood likelihood.

WHEN
Highest tide near 03:00–03:30 AM PST, with another notable high tide occurring in the late evening around 21:36 PST.

IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated; shorelines and low-lying areas should remain free of flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Even though the tide is somewhat higher than on previous days, conditions are not comparable to historical flood events that required tide heights over 20 ft and significantly lower barometric pressures.


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.
