Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide near 19.0 ft early on May 6 with moderate barometric pressure (~1003 hPa). Forecast data and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood indicate no substantial flooding is expected.
WHEN
Highest tide risk around 01:00 AM PST on May 6.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated in residential areas. Minor ponding near very low-lying spots is possible but unlikely. Normal traffic patterns should remain unaffected.
Compared with historical Category 3 or higher events, today’s barometric pressure is not critically low, and observed tide heights—though moderately high—remain below thresholds historically linked to flood incidents. NOAA’s analysis shows a 0.0% chance of flooding. Winds and pressure patterns do not suggest concern for significant coastal inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Peak tide near 18.9 ft overnight into May 7, coupled with barometric pressure (~1006 hPa). NOAA continues to forecast a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide risk around 01:36 AM PST on May 7.
IMPACTS
Little to no flood impact. Low-lying areas should remain dry under these conditions with minimal waves or overtopping.
Historically, Category 3 or above flooding has correlated with notably lower barometric pressures and higher tides (>20 ft). Current tides remain under these flooding benchmarks, and wind activity is mild, further reducing the likelihood of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Elevated morning tide (~18.8 ft) and afternoon tide (~16.6 ft) on May 8. Barometric pressures around 1007–1009 hPa remain well above critical low-pressure thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide risk around 02:06 AM PST on May 8.
IMPACTS
Coastal areas are not expected to experience flooding. Normal marine conditions prevail with no disruptions anticipated for local roadways or infrastructure.
Comparisons with past flood events show significantly higher tides and/or substantially lower pressures were present when flooding occurred. In contrast, NOAA’s daily flood likelihood remains 0.0%, indicating minimal coastal flood risk for May 8.
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.
