Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Although tide levels will reach around 18.6 ft near 7:00 PM local time, barometric pressure values are well above the critical low thresholds seen in past severe events, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide levels are anticipated around 5:18 AM and 7:18 PM on 2025-04-15.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts are expected. Areas along the immediate shoreline may see typical high-tide water levels but should remain below any flood concern.
• Compared with historical Category 3 or higher events (often featuring tides greater than ~20 ft or very low atmospheric pressure), these conditions are milder.
• Barometric pressure readings (~1003–1006 hPa) are not near the dangerous lows (<993 hPa) historically associated with storm surge flooding in this area.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood analysis shows a 0.0% risk, reinforcing that coastal flood conditions are unlikely.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tide levels will again be elevated, peaking close to 18.6 ft in the late evening, but barometric pressure remains well above severe thresholds, and NOAA projects no flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide levels are anticipated around 5:42 AM and 8:00 PM on 2025-04-16.
IMPACTS
No flooding or notable coastal impacts are expected. Beaches and low-lying areas should experience normal high-tide conditions without inundation.
• Observed barometric pressure (~1002–1004 hPa) is not sufficiently low to signal a strong coastal storm system.
• Tidal heights, though relatively high, remain below levels historically linked to moderate or higher floods.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood continues at 0.0%, indicating no expected coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Maximum tide heights near 18.5 ft are possible, but the weather setup remains calm compared to past flood events, and the NOAA forecast shows no flood indication.
WHEN
Highest tide levels are anticipated around 6:12 AM and 8:48 PM on 2025-04-17.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding. Coastal areas may see typical high-tide water levels but are not at risk for inundation or flood-related closures.
• Barometric pressures (~1004 hPa) stay well above the critical lows seen in historic floods.
• Although high tide levels exceed 16 ft, this by itself is not enough to drive flooding, especially with stable weather conditions and low wind speeds.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains near 0.0%.
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.
