Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is anticipated on June 8. Tides will peak around 16:54 at approximately 18.2 ft. Barometric pressure near the time of high tide is forecast around 1006.6 hPa, which is not low enough to raise flooding concerns.
WHEN
Highest tide expected mid-afternoon into the late afternoon (around 16:00 – 17:00 local time).
IMPACTS
• No significant flooding impacts are expected.
• Minor water encroachment at the shoreline is possible but unlikely to affect roads or property.
Historically, tides in the 18–19 ft range have caused some concern when coupled with much lower barometric pressures (below 993 hPa). In this instance, the pressure remains well above that critical threshold, and NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date is 0%. These factors align with no anticipated flood event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on June 9. The highest tide will be around 17:36 at ~18.85 ft, with barometric pressure of about 1007.9 hPa. NOAA continues to indicate 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tidal conditions in the afternoon to early evening (approx. 17:00 – 18:00 local time).
IMPACTS
• Shoreline wave run-up may be slightly elevated but still below flood thresholds.
• No significant property or roadway impacts foreseen.
Comparisons to historical Category 3–4 events show that higher tides coincided with significantly lower barometric pressures or higher NOAA flood likelihood. Here, barometric pressure remains moderately high, and NOAA’s official guidance indicates minimal flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding anticipated on June 10. The highest observed tide is around 19.2 ft near 18:06, but the barometric pressure (~1005.3 hPa) is still well above critical low-pressure levels. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest water levels in the afternoon to early evening hours (approximately 17:30 – 18:30 local time).
IMPACTS
• While the waterfront may see elevated surf conditions, no notable flooding impacts are expected.
• Shoreline access points should remain mostly unaffected.
Even though the tide is approaching 19 ft, historical comparisons (Category 4–5 events) typically involve tides closer to or above 20–21 ft combined with notably lower barometric pressures (<993 hPa). With NOAA’s flood assessment remaining at 0% likelihood, conditions do not meet the threshold for more significant 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.
