Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No notable flooding is anticipated. Tides are forecast to approach around 19.8 ft in the evening, however barometric pressure is relatively high at approximately 1016 hPa, greatly reducing the flood risk. Wind speeds remain modest and from a generally NE direction, which does not typically drive additional surge in Redondo Beach.
WHEN
Elevated tides expected near the late evening, around 9:30 PM to 10:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding impacts are expected. Low-lying areas and shore roads should remain largely unaffected.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 05-31 is reported at 0.0%.
• Compared to historical flood events, the water level is below the 20–21 ft range typically observed during moderate to higher-category floods.
• Barometric pressure of around 1016 hPa is not sufficiently low to enhance the risk of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no substantial flooding is expected. While the evening high tide is near 19.6 ft, the barometric pressure is around 1001.7 hPa—slightly lower than Day 1 but still not low enough to suggest a notable risk, especially with NOAA continuing to indicate 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide projected for late evening, around 10:00 PM to 10:30 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Minimal to none. Typical shore areas should remain clear of tide-associated flooding.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 06-01 is also 0.0%.
• The tide height remains under 20 ft, which has historically been below the level of producing moderate coastal flooding.
• Winds remain generally light, further reducing surge potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is forecast. Although barometric pressure is lower this day (around 997 hPa) and the high tide is near 19.3–19.4 ft, these values remain below the thresholds historically observed for moderate or severe flood events in Redondo Beach. NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
WHEN
Peak tide in the evening, likely 9:00 PM to midnight local time.
IMPACTS
No known impacts expected. Coastal areas are unlikely to experience inundation or road closures.
• Even with moderately low barometric pressure, maximum tide projections do not exceed the typical 20+ ft levels correlated with higher-category past events.
• Winds remain from directions not known to exacerbate local flooding.
• NOAA’s forecast of low flood likelihood supports a minimal flood risk assessment.
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.
