Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Despite moderately high tidal levels around 19 feet, the barometric pressure is very high (over 1028 hPa), which historically reduces the likelihood of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide on 2026-02-27 is expected around 03:12 AM PST, with very high atmospheric pressure and NOAA indicating a 0.0% flood likelihood.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal beach and shoreline activity should be unaffected.
• Barometric pressure near 1028.9 hPa at the time of the highest tide is much higher than the pressures recorded during past flood events, making severe conditions unlikely.
• NOAA’s data shows minimal flood likelihood (-2.16m from the flood threshold).
• Compared to historical Category 4 or 5 events (which featured lower barometric pressure and tide heights above 20 ft), this day’s conditions do not pose a flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Moderate tidal heights near 19.5 feet do not meet the elevated threshold for significant flooding when combined with high barometric pressure.
WHEN
Peak tidal levels occur around 03:54 AM PST, with atmospheric pressure exceeding 1034 hPa. NOAA’s forecast continues to show 0.0% flood likelihood.
IMPACTS
No impacts to local infrastructure or coastal areas are expected. Routine activities along the shoreline should proceed normally.
• Very high barometric pressure (over 1034 hPa) historically correlates with low flood risk.
• Latest NOAA Flood Likelihood data still indicates well below threshold conditions for flooding on this date.
• Winds remain relatively calm, further reducing any coastal flooding concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding with projected high tides just under 20 feet and continued high barometric pressure above 1032 hPa.
WHEN
Highest water levels on 2026-03-01 forecast near 04:24 AM PST, with slightly rising tide again in the afternoon around 14:48, each accompanied by very high pressure. NOAA flood likelihood is only 0.1%.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding impacts. Shoreline areas and roads are unlikely to be affected.
• Even though tides approach 19–20 feet, the barometric pressure remains significantly higher than in past flood events.
• NOAA’s analysis shows a substantial margin below the recognized flood threshold, matching historical patterns of negligible flood risk when pressure is high.
• Wind speeds and directions do not align with conditions that have previously contributed to flooding in Redondo Beach.
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.
