Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A relatively higher early-morning tide peaking near 19.0 ft is anticipated, with barometric pressure around 1003 hPa. Despite the elevated tide, conditions are not expected to cause flooding.
WHEN
From approximately 12:30 AM to 1:30 AM PST, when tides are highest.
IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Coastal areas may see typical high-tide water levels but are unlikely to experience any inundation or road closures.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding (0.0%) for 2025-05-06. The barometric pressure is well above the historically significant low-pressure threshold (around 992.8 hPa). Compared to past events with lower pressure and slightly higher or similar tide levels that reached Category 3 or above, the current conditions are considerably less severe.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Tide levels are forecast to peak around midday near 15.9 ft and continue with moderate atmospheric pressure (around 1009 hPa). No coastal flooding is expected.
WHEN
Midday, approximately 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM PST, coinciding with the highest tide.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts. Normal tidal fluctuations will occur without affecting low-lying areas.
Historical data shows that tides under about 16–17 ft with average to high barometric pressure typically do not produce flooding in Redondo Beach. NOAA’s analysis for 2025-05-07 also shows a 0.0% flood likelihood, underscoring minimal concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A higher early-morning tide near 18.8 ft and a midday tide around 16.6 ft are expected, with pressure trending around 1007–1009 hPa. While these tides are moderate to high, the risk of flooding remains low.
WHEN
• Early-morning high tide near 2:00 AM to 2:30 AM PST
• Mid-afternoon high tide near 3:00 PM PST
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Minor run-up near the shoreline may occur, but inundation into surrounding areas is not expected.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-05-08 remains 0.0%, signifying minimal risk. The barometric pressure is relatively stable and well above the low-pressure criteria historically associated with notable flooding (below ~992.8 hPa).
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings.
