Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Tides are reaching around 19 feet at their peak, but barometric pressure remains well above the critical low-pressure benchmark (near or below 992.8 hPa). NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0%.
WHEN
The highest tide on 2025-05-06 occurs around 01:00 AM and again near midday (12:36 PM), but it is not expected to cause any flooding issues.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts. Low-lying roads and properties should remain unaffected under these conditions, and no closures or real property risks are anticipated.
• Barometric pressure readings (~1003–1005 hPa) are not low enough to raise concern.
• Historical Category 3–5 flood events showed higher tides (exceeding ~20 ft) and/or much lower pressure.
• Winds for Day 1 remain relatively light and are not predominantly from the W/NW, further reducing risk.
• This assessment aligns with NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-05-06.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Peak tides are slightly lower than Day 1’s and remain under critical thresholds. Barometric pressure (~1006–1008 hPa) is still comfortably above severe storm indicators. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0%.
WHEN
High tides occur near 01:36 AM and 14:00 PM. Conditions expected to stay stable throughout the day.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of shoreline areas. Roads, parks, and low-lying properties should not be affected.
• Tides well below the 21+ ft levels historically associated with moderate flooding.
• Barometric pressure remains moderate-to-high compared to past notable flood scenarios.
• Light wind, typically not from a west/northwest direction, lessens onshore water push.
• NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-05-07 reinforces the minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding concerns. Tides and atmospheric pressure forecasts (peaking around 16–18 ft; 1006–1008 hPa) remain far from historic flooding triggers. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides are around 02:06 AM and 15:06 PM, neither expected to produce flooding.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts. Day-to-day activities should not be disrupted by tide heights or weather conditions.
• Tides remain below levels experienced during historical Category 3–5 flood events.
• Pressure readings are not in the low range (< ~993 hPa) typically linked with severe floods.
• Calm to moderate winds, no strong onshore flow.
• Consistent with NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-05-08.
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.
