Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No apparent risk of flooding. Despite a relatively high tide (peaking around 19 ft), the barometric pressure remains very high (above 1024 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood indicates 0.0% chance.
WHEN
Highest water levels near 05:00 AM and again midday, but neither appears likely to produce flooding.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Normal tidal variations may cause some ponding in typical low-lying shoreline locations, but no damage or disruption is anticipated.
• Tides are high but accompanied by unusually high barometric pressure, reducing the chance of coastal flooding.
• Compared to historical flood events (e.g., Category 3 events around 20+ ft tide combined with lower pressure), current conditions do not align with notable flood risks.
• NOAA data supports a low flood risk with 0.0% likelihood.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No apparent risk of flooding. Tides remain relatively high but the barometric pressure is again exceptionally high (exceeding 1033 hPa), and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0.0%.
WHEN
High water near early morning (around 05:12 AM) and late afternoon (around 17:06), both unlikely to pose flood concerns.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding is expected. Typical high-water impacts (minor ponding in very low-lying spots) may occur but without property damage or disruptions.
• Extremely high barometric pressure offsets the effect of elevated tide levels.
• Historical Category 3-4 floods generally featured lower barometric pressure and higher or similar tide levels; this forecast lacks those critical low-pressure conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No apparent risk of flooding. Although another early morning high tide is expected (around 05:30 AM at roughly 19+ ft), the barometric pressure remains well above 1030 hPa, and NOAA maintains a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Early morning hours with possible minor tidal runup, but not enough to cause any flooding concerns.
IMPACTS
No flooding issues are expected. Minimal effects confined to usual tidal variations.
• Barometric pressure stays high, indicating stable weather and low flood risk despite the larger tidal swings.
• No notable wind direction shifts or speeds that would exacerbate wave action or push tides onshore more aggressively.
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.
