Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial flood risk expected. High tides will peak near early morning hours, but barometric pressure remains well above critical thresholds, keeping flood potential low.
WHEN
Highest tide near 02:00–03:00 AM PST on 2025-05-08.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal inundation anticipated. Minor ponding in extremely low-lying areas may occur, but no road closures or property damage are expected.
• Tide heights could reach around 18.8 ft, which is below the typical flooding range (generally 20+ ft), and barometric pressure is around 1007–1011 hPa—well above the ~992.8 hPa concern threshold.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood estimate is 0.0%, indicating minimal chance of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Continued low flood risk. Tides remain moderately high but not enough to produce notable flooding, and barometric pressure is still relatively high.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs in the early morning and again midafternoon around 16:00 PST on 2025-05-09.
IMPACTS
No expected coastal flooding impacts. Normal tidal variations along the shoreline with little to no inundation in vulnerable areas.
• Tide levels near 18.6–18.7 ft coincide with pressures around 1011–1012 hPa.
• According to NOAA, flood likelihood remains at 0.0%. Historic comparison reveals these conditions fall below thresholds that prompted even minor flooding events in the past.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Low probability of flooding despite a somewhat lower barometric pressure in the afternoon. Tides do not reach the critical 20+ ft range and NOAA still indicates negligible flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide anticipated near 02:48 AM PST and 16:48 PST on 2025-05-10.
IMPACTS
No serious coastal inundation or property damage is expected. Low-lying areas near the shoreline should remain largely unaffected.
• Afternoon barometric pressure around 1000–1001 hPa is lower but still not near extreme levels seen in past flood events.
• Tides peak around 17.8–18.0 ft, well below historical events associated with Category 3 or higher.
• NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, indicating minimal risk.
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.
