Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The highest tide (approximately 18.7 ft) occurs around 00:48 and another notable high tide (approximately 16.6 ft) occurs near 15:12.
WHEN
Peak water levels will occur near these high tides:
• 00:48 AM PST
• 03:12 PM PST
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas and shorelines are not expected to experience inundation or property damage.
• The barometric pressure near the high tides (1002.56 hPa at 00:48, 1005.64 hPa at 15:12) is well above the critical low-pressure threshold of ~992.8 hPa.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.0%, and the forecasted tide height remains below the 21 ft level typically associated with more serious coastal flooding.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or higher events, neither the tide height nor the barometric pressure values for today approach those risk levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected, despite moderately high tides (peaking around 18.5 ft).
WHEN
Highest water levels:
• Approximately 01:18 AM PST
• Approximately 04:12 PM PST
IMPACTS
No notable flooding anticipated in vulnerable coastal areas; roads, parks, and shorelines are expected to remain unaffected.
• The afternoon high tide coincides with a barometric pressure near 1000.79 hPa—still above the historical low-pressure benchmarks that have contributed to coastal flooding in the past.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood analysis remains at 0.0%, indicating no immediate threat.
• This day’s conditions are less severe than past Category 3 or higher events, such as those with significantly lower pressure or tides above 21 ft.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding concerns, even though the afternoon tide will be fairly high (near 18.3 ft) and barometric pressure is slightly lower at about 999.3 hPa.
WHEN
Key high tides:
• Around 01:48 AM PST
• Around 04:54 PM PST
IMPACTS
No anticipated flood impacts. Shorelines, low-lying roads, and adjacent properties should remain safe.
• While the barometric pressure of ~999 hPa is lower than Day 1 or Day 2, it remains above the critical ~992.8 hPa threshold seen in historical flooding events.
• Tides do not exceed the 21 ft benchmark commonly associated with higher probabilities of coastal flooding.
• NOAA again estimates a 0.0% flood likelihood, placing this well below the severity seen in events like 12/27/2022, which reached Category 5 levels.
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.
