Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides are projected to peak around 19.9 ft, but the barometric pressure is near 1009 hPa—well above typical low-pressure flood thresholds. NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides anticipated near 2:00 AM and again mid-afternoon around 4:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No substantial flooding impacts are expected. Normal tidal fluctuations may result in minor water accumulation in extremely low-lying spots, but no property damage or significant issues are forecast.
Comparisons with historical Category 3 and 4 events show lower NOAA flood likelihoods and higher barometric pressure relative to severe flood cases. Tides remain below the 21 ft threshold often associated with coastal flood events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Peak tides will again be below 20 ft (approximately 19.8–19.9 ft) with moderately stable barometric pressures ranging from about 1010 to 1012 hPa. NOAA continues to project a 0.0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides expected around 2:30 AM and 5:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal inundation or property impacts. Low-lying areas should remain largely unaffected.
These tidal levels, when compared to past Category 3–4 events, do not coincide with exceptionally low pressure or a strong onshore wind component. Consequently, the risk of any tide-related flooding remains minimal.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides may inch just above 20 ft near 6:00 PM, but barometric pressure remains comparatively high, at or above 1009 hPa, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide likely mid-to-late afternoon into early evening around 6:00 PM PDT.
IMPACTS
No forecasted flooding or significant impacts. Routine tidal variations may temporarily affect the lowest-lying shoreline spots, but no damage or widespread water encroachment is anticipated.
While the tide height approaches 20 ft, it remains below the 21 ft threshold historically linked with flood risk. Barometric pressure is not low enough and wind conditions are not aligned to trigger concern. All indicators suggest no coastal flooding events through this day.
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.
