Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Although tide levels will peak in the early morning (around 05:48 PST) near 19.1 ft, the barometric pressure remains relatively high (about 1020.62 hPa), and NOAA forecasts a 0.0% flood likelihood. This combination indicates no expected flooding impact.
WHEN
Peak high tides around 05:48 PST and again in the early evening (approximately 18:36 PST).
IMPACTS
No significant flooding or property damage is expected. Normal tidal fluctuations may affect typical low-lying zones; however, no adverse impacts are anticipated under these conditions.
• Compared to historical events with a similar or even lower tide, much lower barometric pressures were typically required to elevate risk to Categories 3 or 4.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0%, supporting the conclusion that Day 1 presents no notable flood threat.
• Winds are light to moderate from southerly directions, which do not typically exacerbate tidal impacts in this region.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tide levels will reach roughly 18.9 ft in the early morning (around 06:12 PST), and barometric pressure readings near 1021.3 hPa are well above the low-pressure thresholds associated with past flood events. NOAA continues to report a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tides in the early morning (about 06:12 PST) and again in the evening (around 19:18 PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Typical minor water level increases along the shoreline may be noticeable, but no property or roadway impacts are anticipated.
• Historically, Category 3 events were observed with tides above 20 ft combined with slightly lower pressure (~1020 hPa) or stronger onshore winds. Here, the tide is below 19 ft and pressure remains high, reducing flood potential.
• NOAA’s data again reinforces low flood risk, with negative distance to threshold values.
• Winds are generally from calmer southerly to southwesterly headings.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. High tides approach about 18.6 ft in the early morning (around 06:36 PST) with pressure near 1019.8 hPa, still far above the critical low-pressure benchmarks. NOAA’s forecast remains at 0.0% flood likelihood for this date.
WHEN
Morning high tide near 06:36 PST and an evening tide around 20:06 PST.
IMPACTS
No impacts. Coastal areas should experience routine tidal variation, with water staying well below flooding thresholds.
• This tide level (under 19 ft) coupled with high barometric pressure presents a very low flood risk scenario, markedly lower than historical Category 3 or 4 events.
• Offshore NOAA data continue to show no significant potential for flooding or inundation.
• Winds remain moderate from a generally southerly direction, not contributing to onshore water push.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any unexpected changes. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop, but no such action is anticipated based on current data.
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.
