Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High early-morning tide reaching around 19 ft, but with very high barometric pressure (over 1033 hPa) and calm wind conditions, indicating no credible flooding threat.
WHEN
Highest tide levels will occur near 05:00–07:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Low-lying areas and coastal roads are expected to remain clear throughout this period.
Despite the elevated tide (comparable to some past moderate events), the notably high barometric pressure and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood point to minimal risk. This setup is significantly different from historical Category 3–4 floods, which involved lower barometric pressures and higher flood likelihood indicators.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Another high tide (near 19 ft) in the early morning hours, but again paired with strong high pressure readings (around 1033 hPa) and only moderate winds, resulting in no expected flooding.
WHEN
Primary peak tide near 05:00–06:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated tidal spillovers or coastal flooding. Normal shoreline conditions expected.
Comparisons to prior Category 3–4 flood events show much lower pressures and higher flood likelihoods in those cases. NOAA continues to project a 0% flood chance, reinforcing a low-impact forecast.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides approaching 19 ft in the morning and again late afternoon. Barometric pressure drops slightly (around 1022 hPa) but remains well above the low-pressure levels usually tied to flooding events.
WHEN
Peak water levels near 05:30–06:30 AM PST and again around 05:30–06:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding, with only routine tidal fluctuations along shorelines.
Although the barometric pressure is a bit lower than on Days 1–2, it is still well above historical flood-trigger levels (below ~992.8 hPa). NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0%. Combined with gentle onshore winds, this strongly indicates no flood concerns.
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.
