Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-05-04

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No significant flooding risk is expected. Tides may reach around 19 feet during the midday hours (highest near 09:24), with barometric pressure readings around 1007–1010 hPa. NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0% flood likelihood.

WHEN
Greatest tidal heights from the morning into early afternoon, centered around 09:24 PST.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Areas along the immediate shoreline and low-lying roads should remain unaffected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Compared with past events, these projected tide levels are below the historical flooding thresholds, and barometric pressure remains significantly higher than the lower-pressure events that have historically led to flooding. NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood further confirms minimal risk.


Day 2: 2025-05-05

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Still no significant flooding risk. The main high tide occurs around 11:00, topping out near 19 feet with pressure near 1007.4 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0%.

WHEN
Higher water levels from late morning to midday, peaking around 11:00 PST.

IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding issues. Public areas and roadways adjacent to the shoreline will likely remain clear.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Even though tide heights are moderately high, the barometric pressure is not at a low enough level to raise concern. Historical Category 3 or higher events typically involve lower pressures coupled with higher-than-21-foot tides, neither of which applies here.


Day 3: 2025-05-06

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood impacts forecast. Tides reach approximately 19 feet around midday (about 12:36), with barometric pressure near 1005.3 hPa. NOAA continues to rate flood likelihood at 0%.

WHEN
Peak tidal levels late morning to early afternoon, around 12:36 PST.

IMPACTS
No shoreline flooding or property impacts expected. Low-lying areas remain safe barring any unexpected changes.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Although Day 3’s barometric pressure is slightly lower than previous days, it is still well above dangerous thresholds. The forecast tide heights are not high enough relative to past flood events, and NOAA’s low-flood-likelihood advisory supports a no-risk assessment.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
