Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected today. While tides will be moderately high (peak near 18.9 ft), they remain below the 21 ft level typically associated with coastal flooding. Barometric pressure is high around 1028 hPa, which helps reduce the likelihood of any adverse coastal impacts.
WHEN
Highest tide around mid-morning (approximately 08:30 to 09:00 PST).
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Normal beach use and local travel are unlikely to be affected.
Comparing to historical events, flooding typically occurs with tide heights above 21 ft or under much lower barometric pressure (e.g., below roughly 992 hPa). Neither condition is met today. NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0% flooding likelihood. Consequently, no spillover or inundation is expected in low-lying coastal locations.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is anticipated. Although tides approach 17–18 ft at peak, barometric pressure remains high at roughly 1025–1027 hPa, which minimizes storm-driven surges.
WHEN
Late morning and evening high tides (around 09:00 PST and again after sunset) are the highest periods but well below the 21 ft threshold for flooding concerns.
IMPACTS
No property damage or roadway flooding is expected. Daily activities near the waterfront should proceed normally.
Flood events in Redondo Beach historically required both significant tidal heights (above 21 ft) and lower barometric pressure. With no strong onshore winds and NOAA’s continuing 0% flood likelihood, conditions remain stable.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding for the final day of this outlook. Peak tides remain around 18 ft, and pressures hover in the 1022–1026 hPa range—both factors pointing away from flood development.
WHEN
Highest tides occur near late morning (approximately 10:00–11:00 PST).
IMPACTS
Expect normal coastal conditions. Minor beach erosion or water level rise is not expected to pose a problem given the mild weather pattern.
With barometric pressure well above low-pressure storm thresholds and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood, no coastal flooding is indicated. Historical flood events typically correlate with tides exceeding 21 ft combined with markedly lower pressure.
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.
