Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tide heights will reach the upper teens (maximum around 19.4 ft), but barometric pressure remains well above historically low flood-triggering levels, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide early morning around 02:30 AM and again mid-afternoon around 15:00 PM.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas should not experience inundation under these conditions.
Comparison to historical events shows that tide heights at or above 20 ft combined with very low barometric pressure (< 992.8 hPa) typically drive notable flooding. In this case, although tides approach the higher teens, pressure is near 1008–1013 hPa and NOAA reports only a minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tide heights will again hover mostly in the upper teens (peaking near 19.7 ft), but barometric pressure around 1010–1012 hPa remains relatively high, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides early morning (near 02:54 AM) and afternoon (near 16:06 PM).
IMPACTS
No flooding of low-lying areas is expected at this time given the conditions.
Historical data indicates that even tide heights in the 19 ft range rarely result in flooding unless paired with very low barometric pressure or strong onshore winds. Present forecasts show neither is expected on Day 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Minimal flood risk persists, despite a slightly lower barometric pressure (around 1007–1008 hPa). Tide heights could approach the upper 19 ft range near dawn, but are still below levels historically associated with coastal flood events. NOAA’s flood likelihood stands at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides around 08:06 AM and later in the afternoon near 17:06 PM.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts are expected in most areas. Low-lying roads should not see water intrusion at these forecast conditions.
Even with a minor dip in barometric pressure, the combination of tide height and pressure does not align with Redondo Beach’s past flood-triggering episodes. NOAA’s analysis strongly supports a negligible flood risk for Day 3.
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.
