Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tide levels will reach around 19.3 ft during the morning high tide, but barometric pressure readings near 1016 hPa and NOAA’s low flood likelihood (0.0%) indicate no expected coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:36 AM local time.
IMPACTS
No observed or forecast conditions suggest flooding. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
Despite the moderately high tide, the barometric pressure is well above historically critical low-pressure benchmarks (near or below 992.8 hPa). Wind speeds and directions are not conducive to significant onshore flow. Compared with past events that reached Category 3 or higher, the combination of normal pressure and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood supports a Category 2 (no risk) outcome for Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Projected tide peaks near 18.7 ft in the early morning and late evening. Barometric pressure around 1007 hPa remains above critical levels, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is again reported at 0.0%.
WHEN
• Morning high tide near 07:18 AM
• Evening high tide near 10:24 PM
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding in coastal or low-lying locations.
Although the pressure is slightly lower than Day 1, it is still well above the historically significant low-pressure values that have coincided with past flooding. Observed wind speeds do not show a strong onshore component, further reducing any flood risk. Compared to historical Category 3 events, today’s lower tide heights and minimal flood probability keep conditions solidly in Category 2 (no risk).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Peak tides around 17.7 ft expected in the morning under barometric pressures near 1004–1005 hPa. NOAA’s forecast remains at 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
• Morning high tide near 08:12 AM
IMPACTS
No flooding issues are expected given moderate tide levels and no additional adverse factors.
Although barometric pressure is somewhat lower compared to the prior days, it remains safely above the historical threshold of 992.8 hPa linked with more serious flood events. Wind conditions are not from the high-risk directions, and NOAA’s data support no flood concerns. In comparison to historical moderate flood events (Categories 3–4), current conditions do not approach similar risk levels.
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.
