Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected. While tides will reach around 19 feet, barometric pressure remains relatively high (near 1016–1018 hPa), and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides around 06:36 AM and 04:12 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations with insignificant coastal inundation, if any.
Historical comparison shows that significantly higher tides combined with much lower pressure (below ~992 hPa) have been necessary to create even minor coastal flooding. Current conditions do not align with past Category 3 or higher events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Tides may approach 19 feet again; however, the barometric pressure (about 1008–1009 hPa) is not low enough to trigger concern, and NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Peak tidal periods near 07:18 AM and 10:24 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
Although the barometric pressure dips slightly compared to Day 1, it is still well above the historically low pressures associated with coastal flooding. NOAA’s “Low Flood Likelihood” data reinforces the minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Tides could approach the upper teens (feet), but the barometric pressure (near 1004–1005 hPa) is not critically low. NOAA again reports a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides projected around 08:12 AM and 01:24 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Coastal inundation is not anticipated. No property impacts or road closures are expected.
Even though the barometric pressure is slightly lower than Days 1 and 2, it remains above the critical threshold observed in past severe events. Tides also remain below the 20- to 22-foot heights historically tied to Category 4 or 5 flooding.
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.
