Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will peak near 20 ft in the early morning hours with above-average barometric pressure (around 1024 hPa). Based on historical comparisons, this combination of moderate-to-high tide and high pressure presents no substantial risk of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:12 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated. Minor water level rises along the shoreline are possible, but inundation of roads and property is unlikely.
• Barometric pressure is well above the critical low-pressure threshold of 992.8 hPa associated with past flood events.
• The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this date is very low (0.3%), significantly less than levels observed in historical Category 3 or higher events.
• Winds are relatively mild and not from a direction known to exacerbate coastal flooding (e.g., strong onshore or northwest winds).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Anticipated tide heights again near or slightly below 20 ft during the morning high tide, paired with even higher barometric pressure readings (above 1028 hPa). These conditions signal no appreciable risk for flooding.
WHEN
Peak tide near 05:36 AM PST, with another high tide later in the afternoon (around 05:30 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No expected flooding impacts. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains very low (0.2%), far below past events that produced even minor flooding.
• Barometric pressure is significantly higher than in known flooding scenarios, further reducing flood potential.
• Wind patterns are not conducive to pushing seawater ashore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Morning and evening high tides could approach 20 ft, but persistent high pressure (over 1030 hPa) and low flood likelihood forecasts indicate no notable threat of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:00 AM PST and 06:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Flooding is not anticipated along the shoreline or in surrounding low-lying areas.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-05 remains at 0.2%, reinforcing the expectation of no flood impacts.
• Historically, tides at or above 21 ft with substantially lower pressure have been more concerning; these conditions do not match.
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.
