Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Tides will reach around 18.8 ft near early morning (approximately 02:12) with relatively higher barometric pressure noted (about 1007.8 hPa). Afternoon high tide will be around 16.6 ft with an even higher pressure, both of which do not suggest flood conditions.
WHEN
Peak tide heights:
• Around 02:00–03:00 AM PST
• Around 02:00–03:00 PM PST
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are anticipated for low-lying areas, roadways, or shorelines.
• Compared to historical events in Categories 3–5, today’s tide levels remain below critical thresholds.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-05-08 is 0%, confirming no predicted coastal flooding.
• Winds are moderate and from generally northern directions, further reducing the chance of surge-related flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although early-morning tides will again be moderately high (18.7+ ft around 02:24), barometric pressure remains well above critically low levels (about 1012.6–1011.9 hPa), and no other factors suggest flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide heights:
• Around 02:00–03:00 AM PST
• Late afternoon around 04:00 PM PST
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated in shoreline or low-lying areas.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-05-09 remains at 0%.
• Historical comparisons show these heights fall short of those linked to Category 3+ events.
• Wind directions are generally from the northwest at moderate speeds, which does not typically produce significant onshore surges.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tides may approach ~17.9 ft in the late afternoon (around 16:48), and while the barometric pressure lowers to about 1000.9 hPa, both tide height and pressure remain less extreme than in past flood-prone events.
WHEN
Peak tide heights:
• Around 02:00–03:00 AM PST
• Late afternoon around 04:00–05:00 PM PST
IMPACTS
No identified coastal flooding or property concerns are anticipated.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-05-10 is also 0%.
• Despite slightly lower pressure, the tide forecast does not exceed 19 ft, which historically aligns with no flooding or only minimal coastal impacts.
• A comparison with Category 3–5 historical events (all having either higher tide levels or much lower pressure) indicates insufficient conditions for flooding.
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.
