Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. The highest tide on this day is near 19.8 ft with a barometric pressure around 1000 hPa.
WHEN
Highest water levels are expected around the early morning (near 5:00 AM) and mid-afternoon (around 3:54 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying shoreline areas will remain largely unaffected.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date is 0.0%, indicating minimal flood risk.
• Though the morning tide is moderately high, barometric pressure is not near the historically low threshold (~992 hPa) that usually signals potential flooding in this area.
• Historical Category 3+ flood events generally combined higher tides (often above 20 ft) and much lower barometric pressures.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. The highest tide is projected around 20.1 ft, but a relatively moderate barometric pressure above 1015 hPa reduces flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peaks near early morning (around 5:24 AM) and late afternoon (4:48 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No substantial impacts. Shoreline roads, parks, and low-lying areas are unlikely to experience flooding.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is only 0.2%, which remains very low.
• While tides above 20 ft warrant observation, they are below the typically critical threshold of around 21 ft used in past severe flood events.
• Winds are expected to be light to moderate, further minimizing any surge or coastal flooding concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected despite tides reaching around 20.3 ft. The barometric pressure is notably high (above 1026 hPa), which historically correlates with little to no flooding risk.
WHEN
Highest levels occur in early morning (around 5:48 AM) and late afternoon to early evening (near 5:42 PM PST).
IMPACTS
Coastal roads, low-lying properties, and waterfront parks are not expected to flood. No notable disruptions anticipated.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is still low (3.2%).
• High atmospheric pressure reduces the chance of more serious coastal flooding.
• Historically, more significant floods in Redondo Beach involved lower barometric pressures (below ~992 hPa) and even higher tides (often exceeding 21 ft).
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 flood event and worth monitoring.
• Category 4: Flooding likely but potential property damage is uncertain.
• Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
