Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on this day. Tides are projected to peak around 18.9 ft overnight (00:18) with a barometric pressure of about 996.7 hPa, which is above critical low-pressure thresholds. NOAA’s flood likelihood analysis indicates a 0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
From early morning (around 00:18) and again mid-afternoon (around 14:00).
IMPACTS
No property damage or significant inundation is anticipated. Low-lying areas are expected to remain unaffected.
• Compared to historical Category 3 events (e.g., 12/27/2023), the tide here is moderately high, but the barometric pressure is not sufficiently low to elevate flood risk.
• NOAA data shows a 0% flood likelihood, reinforcing that conditions are not expected to meet flood thresholds.
• Wind data was not provided, but there is no indication of strong onshore flow from the W/NW to exacerbate water levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected on this day. Tides may approach the high teens (around 18.7 ft) but remain below historical flood-event levels. Barometric pressure (near 1000.1 hPa at the first high tide) is not low enough to warrant flood concerns.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 00:48 and again mid-afternoon (around 15:12).
IMPACTS
No major coastal impacts. Shorelines, roads, and low-lying properties should remain clear of flooding.
• Historical Category 3–5 floods generally involved more extreme tides (well above 19 ft) and/or significantly lower barometric pressures.
• Most recent NOAA estimates continue to show a 0% likelihood of flood conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Still no indication of flood risk. Projected tides remain below levels typically associated with even minor coastal flooding, and barometric pressure at high tide (about 1002.6–1005.4 hPa) is not sufficiently low to increase water levels to dangerous thresholds.
WHEN
Peak tides occur around 01:18 overnight and late afternoon (16:12).
IMPACTS
No structural or roadway flooding anticipated. Normal access along coastlines should be unaffected.
• Even though one of the day’s peak tides approaches mid-to-high teens (around 17+ ft), it is still below the higher-range historic events associated with Category 3 or 4 flooding.
• NOAA’s flood projection remains at 0% likelihood for the day, in line with the barometric pressure trend and observed tide heights.
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.
