Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. The tide levels, while elevated at around 17 ft, remain below historical thresholds associated with flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide near mid-morning (around 09:12 AM PST), with barometric pressures remaining high (approximately 1030–1032 hPa).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying shorelines and coastal roads should remain unaffected.
NOAA’s data indicates a 0% flood likelihood for 2026-03-11. Historically, tides around or below 17 ft coupled with high barometric pressure have not produced flood conditions in Redondo Beach, WA. Winds are moderate and primarily from southerly directions, further reducing flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tide heights are projected around the mid-to-upper 17 ft range, but barometric pressures remain significantly above the low-pressure thresholds linked to past floods.
WHEN
Late morning high tide (around 10:24 AM PST) and a secondary peak mid-afternoon (around 16:24 PM PST). Pressures near 1024–1025 hPa.
IMPACTS
No anticipated coastal inundation. Normal tidal fluctuations should not affect coastal infrastructure or low-lying areas.
Although Day 2’s tide is slightly higher than Day 1, NOAA continues to rate flood likelihood at 0%. Past events labeled Category 3 or above generally involved significantly lower barometric pressure and higher flood-likelihood scores. These conditions are absent on 2026-03-12.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides may briefly reach around 18 ft at their peak, but the barometric pressure (about 1019–1020 hPa) remains well above the historically low levels that typically drive flood events.
WHEN
Highest risk period around mid-day to late evening, with notable peaks near 11:42 AM PST and 20:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Minimal to no flood-related impacts. Shorelines and roads are unlikely to experience any water intrusion.
Despite the 18 ft tide, NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis for 2026-03-13 is still at 0%. Historical flooding in Redondo Beach, WA, has been associated with tides above 20 ft paired with notably lower barometric pressures. Winds remain moderate and do not align with flood-favoring W/NW directions.
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.
