Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected even though morning high tide levels will approach approximately 19.8 ft around 05:48 AM. Barometric pressure near 1011.48 hPa remains well above the critical benchmark of ~992 hPa historically associated with more serious flood events, and NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast is very low (0.1%).
WHEN
The highest tide on 2026-03-21 is anticipated between 05:30 AM and 06:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding or property damage is expected. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected under these conditions.
Comparing with past Category 3 events (e.g., 01/06/2025: ~20.68 ft tide with higher pressure of ~1020 hPa), the slightly lower barometric pressure today does not appear low enough to elevate the flood risk. NOAA’s analysis indicates a negligible chance of coastal flooding, reinforcing the Category 2 (no risk) assessment for Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding despite morning high tide levels reaching around 19.68 ft at about 06:18 AM. The barometric pressure is forecast to be approximately 1019.55 hPa, indicating a stable atmosphere, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at or near 0%.
WHEN
The highest tide on 2026-03-22 is likely between 06:00 AM and 06:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS
Minimal impacts anticipated. Tidal levels are not expected to exceed thresholds necessary to cause flooding in coastal areas.
Historical flood events that reached Category 4 or higher typically involved tide heights greater than 20 ft coupled with significantly lower barometric pressures (often below 1002 hPa). Conditions during this period remain notably more stable, which keeps flood potential in the no-risk category.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding persists. Morning high tide near 06:54 AM is forecast to be around 19.46 ft, with a moderate barometric pressure near 1016.78 hPa, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains near 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide on 2026-03-23 is expected between 06:30 AM and 07:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or property damage. Normal tidal fluctuations should not adversely affect low-lying areas.
While this day’s tide height is still moderately high, the pressure is not near historically low thresholds. Past severe flood events have involved tides above 20 ft and notably lower barometric pressures. In addition, NOAA’s forecast shows minimal flooding risk, supporting a no-risk (Category 2) assessment.
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.
