Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant risk of coastal flooding is expected. High tide will reach near 19.3 ft early in the morning, but barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1013.8 hPa), and NOAA’s likelihood of flooding is listed as 0.0%.
WHEN
Main high tide occurs around 03:36 AM local time, with another (lower) peak in the afternoon.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying roads and parks should remain unaffected under these conditions.
• Compared to past Category 3 or 4 events that featured tides over 20 ft and lower pressure, today’s conditions fall well short of historical flood thresholds.
• NOAA flood likelihood is negligible; winds are moderate and not aligned in a way that typically drives water onshore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tide heights may again approach the upper teens (near 19.6 ft), but barometric pressure remains moderate to high (1014.8–1017.8 hPa). NOAA projects a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Primary high tides occur near 04:00 AM and 16:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Minimal or no noticeable impacts to shorelines. No road closures or flooding concerns are expected.
• Historically, risk levels increase when tides exceed ~20 ft and pressure drops significantly below 1002 hPa. Neither is anticipated.
• Wind speeds and directions do not suggest any enhancement of tidal surge.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is anticipated. Morning high tide may approach 19.9 ft, but barometric pressure is high (roughly 1018 hPa), and NOAA only indicates a 0.1% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Main high tide around 04:24 AM local time; an afternoon high tide also remains below critical thresholds.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts expected. Normal tidal fluctuations should prevail.
• Even though Day 3’s tide is the highest of this forecast period, the relatively high atmospheric pressure and low flood likelihood indicate conditions should stay well below flood levels.
• This remains well under historically significant thresholds (e.g., Category 5 events exceeding 22 ft with very low 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.
