Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tides will peak around 18.9 ft in the early morning hours, and barometric pressure near the time of high tide is around 1008–1009 hPa, which is relatively high compared to historical flood events.
WHEN
Highest tides around 03:30 AM to 04:30 AM PST on 2026-02-13.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts anticipated. Shorelines and low-lying roads should remain accessible with minimal risk of inundation.
• Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, the tide height here remains below 20 ft, and barometric pressure is not especially low.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is reported at 0% for this date, further supporting minimal flood risk.
• Winds are from the south at moderate speeds, which historically has not coincided with notable storm-surge issues for this region.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No substantial risk of flooding. The morning high tide is projected near 19.1 ft, with barometric pressure around 1011–1018 hPa.
WHEN
Peak water levels around 04:00 AM to 05:00 AM PST on 2026-02-14.
IMPACTS
No flooding concerns are expected, even in normally flood-prone areas.
• Although tide levels approach 19 ft, it remains well below the 21 ft threshold frequently associated with moderate to severe flooding in historical events.
• NOAA’s stated flood likelihood is 0%, and with relatively higher pressure and southerly winds, the conditions do not align with significant flood risk scenarios.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Still no indication of flooding threats. While the highest tide could reach approximately 19.3 ft early in the day, barometric pressure is very high (over 1024 hPa), further reducing flood potential.
WHEN
Greatest tidal heights from about 04:30 AM to 05:30 AM PST on 2026-02-15.
IMPACTS
No expected flood impacts. Low-lying roads and shorelines are not projected to experience inundation.
• Historically, substantial coastal flooding events have featured tide heights over 20 ft combined with notably low atmospheric pressure (under ~992–1002 hPa). Those conditions are not present.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0% for 2026-02-15.
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.
