Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tides may exceed 20 ft late in the day, barometric pressure is not critically low, and NOAA’s flood likelihood estimate is minimal (0.1%).
WHEN
Peak tide near 19:54 local time on 2025-05-29, reaching approximately 20.24 ft.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated. Normal coastal conditions should persist, with little to no water encroachment in low-lying areas.
• Barometric pressure at the time of the highest tide is around 1004.6 hPa, well above the historically critical low-pressure thresholds that have contributed to notable flooding events.
• Winds appear light (roughly 6–10 mph, mostly from the south), and do not align with the west/northwesterly directions that have exacerbated past events.
• Historically, tides under 21 ft—paired with pressures well above 992.8 hPa—have resulted in no flood conditions.
• NOAA’s latest forecast indicates extremely low flood likelihood, further supporting a Category 2 (no flood risk) assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Evening tides may approach 20 ft, but pressures are higher than those typically associated with flooding (near 1008.95 hPa), and NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide near 20:48 local time on 2025-05-30, topping out around 20.06 ft.
IMPACTS
No coastal inundation or major impacts are anticipated.
• Although the barometric pressure is somewhat lower in the early morning hours (around 999 hPa), the tide height then is only around 18 ft, keeping overall flood risk minimal.
• Light to moderate southerly or variable winds pose limited risk for wave setup or onshore push.
• Comparison to historical events with higher tide heights and far lower pressures—often below 992.8 hPa—confirms these conditions are unlikely to cause flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides forecast near 19.83 ft at peak, with pressure around 1010.23 hPa and calm to moderate winds.
WHEN
Peak tide near 21:36 local time on 2025-05-31, reaching about 19.83 ft.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding in low-lying areas is anticipated.
• Barometric pressure is comfortably above the critical threshold, and NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood supports a no-risk scenario.
• Winds remain light, limiting additional water push toward the shoreline.
• Historical data shows that tides below about 21 ft, coupled with higher pressures, rarely produce coastal flooding concerns.
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.
