Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Tides will reach around 17.6 feet, which is substantially below levels observed in historical major flood events. Barometric pressure remains high (around or above 1022 hPa), significantly reducing the potential for coastal flooding.
WHEN
No specific flood risk period; tides peak around mid-morning (08:24 local time) and mid-afternoon (14:12 local time).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts expected. Typical boat launch areas and low-lying spots near the shoreline may see normal higher-than-average tidal water levels but no property damage or roadway flooding is anticipated.
• Compared to past flooding events (e.g., Category 3 or higher), today’s peak tide is below 20 feet, and the barometric pressure is much higher than pressures observed during significant flooding.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-10 is 0.0%, reinforcing the low-risk assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Although tides may approach 17 feet, the high barometric pressure readings (above 1030 hPa) keep conditions stable.
WHEN
Peak tides occur shortly after midnight (00:00 local time) and later in the morning (around 09:12 local time), with no abnormal flooding concern.
IMPACTS
Minimal to no impacts. Usual higher tide water levels along beaches and docks, but no flood-related closures or damages anticipated.
• Historical Category 3 events often featured both elevated tidal heights above 19–20 feet and significantly lower barometric pressures, which are not present here.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-11 is 0.0%, indicating no expected coastal flooding issues.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk is anticipated. While tides may again exceed 17 feet, barometric pressure remains in the normal to high range (~1026 hPa), and NOAA indicates no likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides are projected in late morning (10:24 local time) and mid-afternoon (16:24 local time), but remain below historic flood thresholds.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding concerns. Recreational areas along the shoreline and low-lying roads may observe usual high-tide conditions without flooding.
• By comparison with historical data, these projected tide levels combined with high barometric pressure do not meet the criteria for elevated flood categories.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-12 remains at 0.0%, matching the mild weather outlook.
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.
