Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Minor coastal flooding is possible near the late evening high tide, with barometric pressure near 992.91 hPa and a projected tide height of around 19.35 ft. Winds are expected to remain light, which should help limit more serious impacts.
WHEN
Potentially from about 9:00 PM to midnight local time, peaking around the 11:00 PM to midnight high tide on 2025-06-02.
IMPACTS
Minor flooding of low-lying coastal roads, walkways, and parking areas is possible. Some ponding of water in very low-lying areas may occur. Significant property damage is not likely.
While the barometric pressure is quite low—close to the historical threshold of 992.8 hPa associated with past moderate flooding—today’s tide height is slightly below 20 ft and the winds are calm. For reference, on 01/07/2022 (a Category 4 event), slightly lower barometric pressure combined with similar tide heights and significantly higher wind speeds led to more pronounced flooding. NOAA’s official flood likelihood for 2025-06-02 is reported at 0.0%, suggesting only limited risk but meriting monitoring due to the low pressure.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No significant flood risk is expected. Barometric pressure around 997.52 hPa will be higher, and the predicted high tide near mid-morning (~14.98 ft) is well below typical flood-triggering levels.
WHEN
Throughout the day, but especially at late morning high tide (around 10:42 AM local time).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated.
Historical events show that tides below roughly 16–17 ft, combined with moderate or higher pressure, seldom cause issues. NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood reflects minimal concern for Day 2.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No risk of flooding. The highest tide of the day, near midday (~15.07 ft), aligns with a barometric pressure of about 995.88 hPa—still above the critical low-pressure thresholds observed in past flood events.
WHEN
Mostly around lunchtime (around 12:24 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No noticeable coastal impacts are expected.
Compared to historical moderate- or high-category flood events (which often featured tides above 20 ft and/or significantly lower barometric pressure), current conditions remain well below concern. NOAA data once again indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date.
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.
