Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Though tides will reach nearly 20 ft, high barometric pressure and low NOAA flood likelihood indicate minimal risk of inundation.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:12 AM PST on 03/03/2026.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated for coastal or low-lying areas at this time.
• Tides will peak around 19.96 ft, but the barometric pressure (about 1024.57 hPa) is significantly higher than in historical flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is very low (0.3%), further supporting the minimal risk assessment.
• Compared with 01/06/2025 (Category 3 event at 20.68 ft / 1020.47 hPa / much higher flood likelihood), current conditions are less severe.
• Winds are relatively light and not from a direction that typically exacerbates flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tide levels remain high but are below historical flood thresholds, and barometric pressures remain quite high.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:36 AM PST on 03/04/2026.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated, with normal beach activity expected along the coastline.
• Tide height projected around 19.94 ft, but with barometric pressure around 1027.82 hPa to 1033.31 hPa, conditions remain stable.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is listed as low (0.2%), which is well below what was observed even in moderate Category 3 events.
• Winds from the south/southwest are not as strong as in past flooding scenarios, further diminishing risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Tides remain near 19.8 ft but continue to coincide with very high barometric pressure and low NOAA flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:00 AM PST on 03/05/2026.
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding impacts are anticipated.
• Tide height is about 19.84 ft, with pressure near 1030 hPa—much higher than pressure readings from historical flooding events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains very low (0.2%).
• Comparison with 12/27/2022 (Category 5 event, 22.297 ft tide, ~978.4 hPa) underscores that current conditions are far less severe.
