Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tide levels will reach around 17–18 ft during the midday and late afternoon high tides, but barometric pressure remains high at approximately 1024–1026 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tides occur near 10:24 AM and 4:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No inundation or property damage is anticipated. Low-lying areas, roads, and parks near the shoreline are not expected to be affected.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2026-03-12 is 0.0%, and the prevailing high pressure reduces the possibility of coastal flooding. Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, the barometric pressure is substantially higher, and tides are lower than the historical flood thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Projected tide levels may reach near 18 ft, yet pressures remain very high (around 1026–1032 hPa), significantly decreasing the chance of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides occur near 11:42 AM and 8:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts are predicted. Normal beach and shoreline activity should remain uninhibited.
Despite the higher tide readings, NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0.0%. Historically, events categorized as 3 or above demonstrated lower pressures and higher tide heights exceeding 20 ft. In this case, the combination of elevated pressure and moderate tide prevents flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Maximum tides may again approach 18 ft. However, barometric pressure will be even higher on this day (up to about 1034 hPa), further reducing any risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides are expected near 3:12 AM and 12:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS
Coastal areas will remain clear of any flood-related problems. No disruptions to roads or shorelines are anticipated.
NOAA continues to project a 0.0% flood likelihood, with all primary factors—particularly the high barometric pressure—indicating no threat of inundation. Even though the tide height is moderately high, it is well below levels associated with any historical flood damage events.
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.
