Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Overall tidal levels will be lower than historical flood thresholds, and barometric pressure is not critically low. Thus, no flooding is anticipated.
WHEN
The highest tide is forecast early in the morning (around 01:30 AM), but even then, conditions are not expected to lead to flooding.
IMPACTS
No direct flood impacts are expected; coastal areas should remain clear of inundation.
• The day’s highest tide is around 19 ft (01:30 AM) with barometric pressure near 999.3 hPa.
• Historically, Category 3 or higher flood events have involved tides closer to (or exceeding) 20 ft combined with much lower barometric pressure.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is 0.0% for 2025-04-23, indicating no concern for coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Slightly higher tidal levels than Day 1 but still below thresholds typically associated with coastal flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide will occur during the early morning hours (around 02:00 AM) and again midday, but barometric pressure remains modest and does not critically lower flood risk thresholds.
IMPACTS
No significant inundation expected. Any coastal splash-over or minimal water rise should remain well below flood thresholds.
• Tides may briefly rise to around 19.1 ft (02:00 AM), while barometric pressure is about 999.6 hPa, still above the historically low pressures tied to past flooding.
• Wind direction is generally from the north/northwest, which is less likely to push water inland compared to strong southerly or westerly gales.
• NOAA forecasts 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-04-24.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Although this day features the highest tides of the three-day stretch (near 19.4 ft), barometric pressures around 1008 hPa are substantially higher than the levels that typically accompany coastal flooding events in the area.
WHEN
The most significant high tide occurs roughly in the early morning (around 02:30 AM) and again mid-afternoon, but both coincide with relatively stable atmospheric pressure.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected; water levels should remain below flood thresholds, and local roads or waterfront areas should be unaffected.
• The maximum tide is near 19.4 ft (02:30 AM), below the ~20.5–21 ft range seen in past Category 3 or 4 flood events.
• Barometric pressure is notably higher (1008.8–1008.9 hPa) than in historical severe events (e.g., near or below 992 hPa).
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 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.
