Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Although tides will rise to around 17–18 feet, the high barometric pressure (above 1025 hPa) and NOAA’s low flood likelihood (0%) indicate no flood impacts.
WHEN
Highest tides on 2026-03-13 are predicted around 11:42 AM and 8:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Local shorelines and low-lying areas are expected to remain unaffected.
• NOAA flood likelihood is 0.0%, well below the threshold.
• Barometric pressure remains significantly higher than in historical flood events.
• Compared with severe events such as 12/27/2022 (Category 5) with lower pressure (978.4 hPa) and a higher tide (>22 ft), these conditions are far less conducive to flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Peak tide levels of about 17–18 feet are well below the critical 21+ ft range historically associated with flooding, and the barometric pressure remains very high at or above 1031 hPa.
WHEN
Highest tides on 2026-03-14 are predicted near 3:12 AM and 12:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No known flooding impacts. Normal coastal conditions anticipated.
• NOAA reports 0.0% flood likelihood for this date as well.
• The barometric pressure is much higher than historically noted during flood events, reducing any significant risk.
• Even though the tide is elevated, it is unlikely to exceed thresholds needed for flooding when combined with such high pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. While the tide may briefly approach 18 feet, barometric pressure around 1023–1025 hPa remains above the low-pressure levels typically linked with flood conditions.
WHEN
Highest tides on 2026-03-15 are predicted near 3:36 AM and 1:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS
No noticeable coastal flooding is likely; shorelines and low-lying areas are expected to stay dry.
• NOAA maintains a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date.
• Compared with past Category 3 or higher events, these tides are lower, and pressures are far above critical thresholds.
• Historical severe floods (e.g., Category 5 on 12/27/2022) involved significantly lower barometric pressures and higher tides well above 21 feet.
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.
