Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the morning high tide reaches around 19.4 ft, barometric pressure remains unusually high near 1032 hPa, which significantly reduces any flood risk.
WHEN
Early morning around 03:54 AM PST through midday.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying roads and shorelines should remain unaffected under these stable conditions.
Historical floods in this region have generally involved both elevated tide heights over 20 ft and notably lower barometric pressures (below about 1002 hPa). Today’s tide (near 19.4 ft) is below that higher baseline, and the pressure is far above historical storm thresholds. NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2026-02-28 is 0.0%, indicating no risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected on this date. The maximum tide is forecast to be near 19.8 ft, but atmospheric pressure remains high, around 1034–1037 hPa, keeping conditions stable.
WHEN
Highest tides will occur around the early morning (approx 04:24 AM PST) and again midafternoon.
IMPACTS
No discernible flood impacts are expected. Local beaches and shore roads should see normal conditions with no inundation.
Even though the tide is moderately high, the extremely high barometric pressure largely offsets the potential for coastal flooding. NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2026-03-01 is only 0.1%. By comparison, historical Category 3 or 4 events saw markedly lower pressures combined with tide heights above 20 ft.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is anticipated. Tide levels may reach around 19.9 ft in the early morning (approx 04:48 AM PST), but barometric pressure remains exceedingly high near 1035–1036 hPa.
WHEN
Greatest tide influence early morning (around 04:48 AM PST) and late afternoon (15:48 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No substantial impacts are expected in coastal or shoreline areas. All local infrastructure should remain unaffected.
Tide heights are near, but still below, historical thresholds linked to prior flood events (generally above 20 ft). With barometric pressure far above the critical 992–1002 hPa range seen in past floods, and NOAA reporting just a 0.3% flood likelihood for 2026-03-02, the risk remains minimal.
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.
