Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides may reach nearly 19.4 ft in the evening, but barometric pressure is moderate (about 1005–1006 hPa), and NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0%. Historically, tides under 20 ft paired with barometric pressures above 992.8 hPa have not led to coastal flooding in this area.
WHEN
The highest tide should occur late in the afternoon into the early evening of June 11.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal coastal conditions with no notable inundation of roads or low-lying areas.
• Compared to significant historical floods (e.g., Category 5 events exceeding 22 ft tide and very low pressure near 978 hPa), current tide levels and pressure remain well within safe ranges.
• Wind speeds remain moderate (under 15 mph); no intensifying onshore flow from the W/NW is expected to elevate water levels.
• NOAA’s official forecast indicates a 0% flood chance for June 11.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected, even with a high tide near 19.5 ft in the late afternoon/evening. The forecast barometric pressure remains well above the critical 992.8 hPa threshold, and NOAA indicates a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest risk period is late afternoon to early evening on June 12, when tides approach their peak.
IMPACTS
No observed or projected inundation of roads or structures. Low-lying coastal areas should remain unaffected.
• Although day 2’s tide height will be slightly higher than day 1, pressure readings around 1000–1004 hPa are still high enough to minimize flood concerns.
• Winds remain generally moderate, reducing the chance of wave-driven flood impacts.
• Historical Category 4 events involved significantly lower pressure and/or tidal heights above 20 ft; today’s conditions do not align with those profiles.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. A peak tide near 19.6 ft in early evening remains below historical flood-triggering levels, while barometric pressure (~1001 hPa) stays higher than the critical low reported in severe past events.
WHEN
Highest tide is forecast for the early to mid-evening of June 13.
IMPACTS
Little to no impact is anticipated on local shorelines, roads, or structures.
• Previous Category 3–5 events combined higher tides (often exceeding 20 ft) with persistently low pressure below 993 hPa. Neither of those conditions are expected on June 13.
• NOAA data indicates a 0% chance of flooding for all days in this forecast.
• Light to moderate winds and a stable westerly component further reduce any potential surge.
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.
