Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-03-01

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will be moderately high in the early morning (around 04:24 PST) and afternoon (around 14:48 PST), but barometric pressure remains very high (over 1031 hPa), which lowers the flood potential.

WHEN
Highest tide times of note are around 04:24 PST and 14:48 PST on 2026-03-01.

IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are likely. Normal levels of coastal run-up and minor splash-over are possible but are unlikely to affect property or infrastructure.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-01 is rated “Low” (0.1%). Compared to historical flood events, the tide height (peaking below 20 ft) and the high barometric pressure significantly reduce the risk of flooding. Category 2 indicates no substantial risk of flooding under these conditions.


Day 2: 2026-03-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although tides will again be moderately high—particularly around 04:48 PST and 15:48 PST—barometric pressures remain elevated (above 1033 hPa), historically indicating minimal flood potential.

WHEN
Peak tides around 04:48 PST and 15:48 PST on 2026-03-02.

IMPACTS
No substantial flooding impacts anticipated. Coastal areas may see minor wave action, but property damage or inundation is highly unlikely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-02 remains “Low” (0.3%). The tide levels are below the significant 21 ft threshold seen in past flood events. The higher-than-average atmospheric pressure further decreases flood potential.


Day 3: 2026-03-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will be somewhat elevated around 00:12 PST and 05:12 PST, but still below major flood thresholds, and while the barometric pressure is slightly lower than the previous days, it is still high (around 1025 hPa).

WHEN
Main tide peaks occur near 00:12 PST and 05:12 PST on 2026-03-03.

IMPACTS
No significant impacts to coastal properties or infrastructure are expected at this time. Minor splash-over is possible along low-lying shorelines.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-03 is “Low” (0.3%), with forecast tide heights staying below known flooding benchmarks. Historical events that caused notable flooding coincided with pressures near or below 992.8 hPa and tidal heights above 21 ft, neither of which apply here.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

CATEGORY KEY
