Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding risk is expected. While the midday and late-evening tides (peaking near 19 ft) are relatively high, the barometric pressure (lowest around 997 hPa) remains above the critical low-pressure benchmark of 992.8 hPa. NOAA reports a 0.0% flood likelihood on this date.
WHEN
Highest tides around 1:18 PM and 11:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding anticipated. Low-lying areas and shorelines are not forecast to see any inundation.
• Historical Category 3–5 events typically involved lower barometric pressure (< 993 hPa) or tides exceeding 20 ft.
• Current conditions show neither extremely low pressure nor extreme tide levels.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood analysis underscores a very low risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding despite relatively high tides (near 19 ft). Barometric pressure ranges from ~1002 hPa in the morning to ~1014 hPa in the evening, safely above the critical low threshold. NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides around 9:42 AM and 11:42 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No anticipated impacts from coastal inundation. Local roads and shorelines are expected to remain clear.
• Conditions are similar to Day 1 with high tides but pressures too high to trigger coastal flooding.
• Winds from the SSW/W do not appear strong enough to push additional water onshore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding expected. Although midday and late-afternoon tides approach 19 ft, pressures around 1011 hPa are well above dangerously low levels. NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tides around 11:18 AM and 5:36 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are expected. Normal tidal fluctuations with limited effect on local infrastructure.
• Even with higher tides above 18 ft, barometric pressure remains far from historical low-pressure flood triggers.
• Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, both tide thresholds and weather factors do not align to produce 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.
