Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-03-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is anticipated. Tides may reach approximately 18.2 ft, but due to high barometric pressure, the likelihood of any coastal flood impact is minimal.

WHEN
Highest tides around 07:48 AM and 01:18 PM local time.

IMPACTS
No flooding is expected. Normal tidal fluctuations will occur without significant inundation of low-lying coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On March 9, tide heights peak near 18.2 ft while barometric pressure hovers around 1027–1024 hPa. This elevated pressure historically correlates with reduced coastal flooding risk. NOAA’s official likelihood for flooding is 0.0%, reinforcing a Category 2 (no-flood-risk) assessment.


Day 2: 2026-03-10

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Continued no risk of flooding. Tides will be moderately high but accompanied by high pressure conditions that should prevent coastal inundation.

WHEN
Highest tide around 08:24 AM and a secondary high tide near 02:12 PM local time.

IMPACTS
No coastal flooding issues anticipated. Shoreline impacts remain unlikely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Although the tide may approach or exceed 17 ft on March 10, the barometric pressure is again elevated, ranging from about 1022 to 1028 hPa. NOAA data shows a 0.0% flood likelihood. Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, pressure here is much higher, further reducing flood concerns.


Day 3: 2026-03-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides and atmospheric conditions remain stable, with very high barometric pressures limiting any potential coastal flood development.

WHEN
Highest tides at approximately midnight (12:00 AM) and around 09:12 AM local time.

IMPACTS
No significant impacts expected for coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On March 11, barometric pressure readings remain notably high (around 1029–1031 hPa) even as the tide reaches roughly 16–17 ft. Historically, these conditions correlate with no recorded flooding. NOAA continues to indicate a 0.0% flood likelihood.


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.
