Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tides will reach upwards of about 18.6 ft in the evening, but prevailing high barometric pressures (around 1013 hPa) and NOAA’s very low flood likelihood (0.0%) indicate no notable flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tides near 14:48 and 18:48 local time.
IMPACTS
No major impacts anticipated. Low-lying sections of the beach could see very minor water encroachment, but conditions are not expected to cause property damage or road closures.
• Barometric pressure is well above the historical low-pressure thresholds associated with more serious flooding events.
• NOAA’s flood model shows a substantial margin below the flood threshold.
• Wind speeds remain relatively light, which further reduces the likelihood of flood-inducing onshore flow.
• Historical Category 3 or higher floods typically involved lower pressures or tides exceeding 20 ft, neither of which applies here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Similar conditions with moderately high tides nearing 18.8 ft overnight. Again, barometric pressure remains considerably above 992.8 hPa, and NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
Primary tide peaks around 01:12 and again late morning around 11:06.
IMPACTS
Water levels may briefly rise along shorelines, but significant flooding is not expected. Minor nuisance ponding in very low-lying areas is possible, but no major hazards to infrastructure or travel.
• The highest tide (around 18.8 ft) falls well short of the 20 ft+ levels seen in past Category 4–5 events.
• The barometric pressure is predicted near 1008–1013 hPa, which does not match the low-pressure scenarios historically linked to flood events.
• NOAA’s data continues to place the area well below flood thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Although tides may briefly approach 19.0 ft in the early morning hours, forecast barometric pressures remain relatively stable (around 1010–1011 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is again reported at 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tides around 02:06 and midday around 12:42.
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding impacts are expected. Typical fluctuations in water level near the shoreline may occur, but they are unlikely to cause property damage.
• Comparisons to historical events show that even with moderately high tides, a higher barometric pressure environment—and the absence of intense onshore winds—keeps the flood risk in a no-flood category.
• NOAA data consistently indicates a substantial gap below the flood threshold level, reinforcing minimal flood concerns.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any unexpected changes in weather or tidal patterns. Those living in areas prone to flooding should remain informed but likely will not need to take additional measures at this time.
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.
