Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides may reach around 18.5 ft near midnight, but with barometric pressure above 999 hPa and NOAA’s flood likelihood at 0.0%, no flooding is expected.
WHEN
Highest tide near 00:54 local time.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts. Low-lying areas and shorelines should remain unaffected.
Comparing with past Category 3 events (e.g., 17.46 ft tide in 2023 that had a higher NOAA flood signal), the current conditions show near 18.5 ft but with low flood likelihood and relatively stable pressure. This places 2025-04-22 in Category 2, indicating no significant risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide approaches 18.8 ft around early morning, but with barometric pressures near 1000 hPa and a NOAA likelihood at 0.0%, conditions favor no coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest risk window near 01:30 local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Normal tidal variations.
Although the barometric pressure dips slightly under 1000 hPa at some points, it remains well above the critically low levels (around 992.8 hPa or lower) observed in past more serious events. With a moderate tide height (below 20 ft) and NOAA’s continuing low flood probabilities, Category 2 (no flood risk) is indicated.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
The highest tide is about 19.1 ft near 02:00 local time, accompanied by barometric pressures around 998 hPa. NOAA flood likelihood for this date remains 0.0%, suggesting no substantial flooding threat.
WHEN
Overnight hours near 02:00 local time.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding. Typical tidal fluctuations only.
While the tide height is slightly higher than Days 1 and 2, it remains below the 20+ ft typical of more concerning historical events. Pressure is not unusually low, and NOAA data does not indicate heightened flood risk, supporting a Category 2 assessment.
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.
