Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. High tides reach approximately 17 feet, but barometric pressure remains very high near 1037 hPa, well above historical low-pressure flood events.
WHEN
Main high tide periods are around 10:48 AM and 8:24 PM PST on February 22.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding is anticipated. Low-lying roads, beaches, and walkways should remain clear.
Despite tide heights being higher than some past Category 1 events, the barometric pressure is substantially above the critical low thresholds seen in historical flood cases. Furthermore, NOAA’s flood likelihood stands at 0.0%. These factors all indicate no flood risk for February 22.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide, near 18 feet around 3:30 AM, is below the 21-foot threshold typically associated with flood events, and the pressure of 1032+ hPa remains high.
WHEN
Main high tide periods include early morning (3:30 AM) and late evening (9:36 PM–9:42 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No noteworthy flooding impacts. Coastal infrastructure and roadways are expected to remain unaffected.
Although the tide is slightly higher than on Day 1, NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood. Winds are generally from the south, and the elevated barometric pressures reduce the potential for surge-related flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide heights approach 17–18 feet in the early afternoon, but the barometric pressure remains around 1017 hPa—still far above typical flood-inducing levels.
WHEN
Peak high tides occur around 1:12 PM and again in the early evening.
IMPACTS
No significant shoreline or roadway flooding concerns are anticipated.
Compared to historical flood events, both the tide height and barometric pressure differ significantly from conditions that produced Categories 3–5 in the past. NOAA's outlook for February 24 remains at 0.0% flood likelihood.
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.
