Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Based on the provided data, there is no risk of flooding. The highest tide is projected to reach about 19.4 ft (shortly after midnight), but barometric pressure remains above 1014 hPa, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0%.
WHEN
Primary high tides around 00:18 AM and 12:48 PM local time. No flooding concerns are expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS
• No coastal flooding anticipated.
• Normal daily activities should not be affected.
High barometric pressure (above 1014 hPa), moderate wind speeds, and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood all suggest no observed conditions conducive to flooding. Historically, similar tide heights with much lower barometric pressure have led to moderate or higher risk categories; however, that is not the case here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide near midnight may approach 19.5 ft, but barometric pressure remains sufficiently high (~1015 hPa), keeping flood potential minimal.
WHEN
Primary high tides around 00:54 AM and near mid-afternoon (around 14:06 PM). No flooding concerns are expected.
IMPACTS
• No coastal inundation anticipated.
• No disruptions to day-to-day activities.
Comparisons with historical Category 3 or higher events show that those events involved significantly lower pressures or higher tide levels (above 20–21 ft). NOAA data again indicates a 0% flood likelihood for this date, reinforcing minimal risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding. Tide heights nearing 19.7 ft overnight are accompanied by a moderate barometric pressure (~1011–1012 hPa). NOAA’s outlook remains at 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides around 01:36 AM and mid-morning to early afternoon (noted at 10:36 AM and 15:18 PM). No flooding issues are expected.
IMPACTS
• No adverse coastal impacts expected.
• Beaches and low-lying areas remain safe.
Even with slightly lower pressure compared to the prior days, the level is still well above thresholds historically associated with serious flood events. NOAA’s negative distance-to-threshold values confirm minimal concern for coastal 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 ever 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.
