Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on May 26. Tide levels peak around 19.8 ft, which is below the 21 ft threshold historically associated with flood risk in this area. Barometric pressures remain above 992.8 hPa, further indicating minimal flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tides occur in the early morning (around 02:36) and late afternoon (around 17:18), but no significant flooding impacts are anticipated during these periods.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts. Low-lying shore areas may see very minor water encroachment but are unlikely to experience any property damage or flooding hazards.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0% chance of flooding.
• Historical data shows that tides under 21 ft, coupled with barometric pressures well above 992.8 hPa, have not resulted in floods for Redondo Beach.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on May 27. While the midday-to-evening high tide may briefly exceed 20 ft, it remains below critical flood thresholds and barometric pressure remains comparatively high (>1011 hPa).
WHEN
A higher tide occurs around 18:12. Flooding is not expected at or around this time.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts. Standard tidal fluctuations along coastal roads and shorelines are anticipated, but with no resulting flood conditions.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at 0% for May 27.
• Data comparison with historical Category 3 or 4 events shows that true flood conditions typically require both a much lower barometric pressure and tide heights surpassing 21 ft.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on May 28, despite tides peaking just over 20 ft in the evening. Barometric pressure (around 1005.7 hPa) is not sufficiently low to pose a significant flood threat, and the NOAA flood likelihood remains very low.
WHEN
The highest tide occurs near 19:06 but should remain below the 21 ft critical threshold.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts or property damage concerns are anticipated.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0.1% chance, which remains very low.
• Compared with past notable flood events (where tides exceeded 21 ft and barometric pressures fell below 992 hPa), current conditions do not align with flood-producing scenarios.
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.
