Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. A relatively high tide of around 19.1 ft will occur early in the morning, accompanied by moderate barometric pressure (~1001.7 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast remains at 0.0%, indicating no coastal flooding concerns.
WHEN
Peak conditions near 02:00 AM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Roads, parks, and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or higher events, both the tide height and barometric pressure here do not align with conditions that have led to past flooding.
• NOAA CO-OPS data shows a considerable distance below flood threshold, reinforcing minimal flood potential.
• Wind speeds are low (generally under 10 mph), further reducing any surge or overtopping risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no significant flood risk is expected. Peak tide heights near 19.4 ft around 02:30 AM are coupled with a barometric pressure of roughly 1008.6 hPa. NOAA places the likelihood of flooding at 0.0%.
WHEN
Peak conditions near 02:30 AM local time and again mid-afternoon (around 15:06).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of coastal areas, roadways, or low-lying spots.
• The barometric pressure is higher than Day 1, reducing any minor surge concerns.
• Tidal levels remain below those of historical flood events.
• NOAA’s flood threshold data confirms continued low flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flood risk is anticipated. Although the early morning high tide reaches nearly 19.7 ft, barometric pressure (~1012.8 hPa) is moderate, and NOAA reports a 0.0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Peak conditions near 02:54 AM local time and a secondary high tide mid-afternoon (around 16:06).
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding concerns expected. Normal tidal variations may be noticeable, but water levels should remain below flooding thresholds.
• Despite a slightly higher tide than on prior days, the barometric pressure is not low enough to suggest flood potential.
• Historically, more severe flood categories typically require lower pressure and higher tides; those conditions are absent here.
• Wind direction and speed remain non-conducive to coastal flooding.
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.
