Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Minor coastal flooding is not expected, but tidal levels will be close enough to warrant monitoring, especially in low-lying shoreline areas.
WHEN
The highest tide near 01:36 AM could bring water close to flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
• Minor inundation of very low-lying areas is possible but unlikely to cause damage.
• Roads immediately adjacent to the water may experience brief pooling if wind-driven waves coincide with peak tide.
• The peak tide is forecast around 18.94 ft, somewhat higher than a past Category 3 event (17.46 ft on 12/27/2023).
• Barometric pressure (about 1005 hPa) is not extremely low, which limits flood risk.
• NOAA flood likelihood is at 0.0%, indicating no significant flooding is expected.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Tides will again approach levels that merit observation, but significant flooding is unlikely.
WHEN
Elevated water levels near 02:06 AM, peaking around 18.83 ft.
IMPACTS
• Brief minor water coverage in the lowest shoreline spots may occur.
• Property damage is not anticipated due to higher atmospheric pressure readings and generally calm conditions.
• The peak tide (about 18.83 ft) is below the 19–20+ ft levels typically associated with more serious events.
• Atmospheric pressure remains moderate (about 1009.82 hPa), further reducing the threat.
• NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Slightly lower maximum tides compared to previous days, yet still worth monitoring around peak times.
WHEN
Highest tide near 02:24 AM (about 18.70 ft).
IMPACTS
• Minimal chance of flooding in the immediate waterfront areas, unlikely to cause any damage.
• Typical low spots along the shore could see mild water intrusion if localized wind or wave activity occurs.
• Barometric pressure is higher (around 1013–1011 hPa), making flood conditions even less likely.
• NOAA continues to forecast a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date.
• These tides remain well below Category 4 and 5 historical levels (20+ ft combined with much lower barometric pressure).
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.
