Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tide heights will be moderately high (peaking around 18.5 ft), current atmospheric conditions are not conducive to flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 20:48 on 2025-04-17; barometric pressure is around 1007 hPa.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Coastal areas and low-lying spots should remain clear of inundation.
NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, with sea levels well below the minor flood threshold. Historical comparisons show that significant coastal flooding in this region typically involves tides above 20 ft combined with much lower barometric pressures (< 1000 hPa). Current conditions do not align with those higher-risk scenarios.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. While another moderately high tide (peaking around 18.3 ft) is forecast, barometric pressures remain well above critical low levels, indicating little to no flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide near 21:48 on 2025-04-18; barometric pressure around 1009 hPa.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated for residential or shoreline areas.
NOAA again forecasts a 0.0% flood likelihood. Even though tides exceed 18 ft, they are still lower than typical flood-event benchmarks, and surface pressure conditions remain stable. Comparisons to historical Category 3 or higher events show those typically involved higher tides and more pronounced low pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Projected high tide near 18.2 ft with generally mild winds and normal pressure readings.
WHEN
Highest tide near 22:54 on 2025-04-19; barometric pressure near 1005.8 hPa.
IMPACTS
No noteworthy impacts are expected. Low-lying roads and coastlines should remain unaffected.
NOAA maintains a low flood likelihood of 0.0%. Historical data indicates significantly higher tide levels and much lower pressures are required for coastal flooding in Redondo Beach. Current observations remain well outside those parameters.
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.
