Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. Although a relatively high tide approaches around 06:18 AM (around 19.6 ft), the barometric pressure remains fairly high (about 1018.66 hPa), which greatly reduces the likelihood of coastal flooding.
WHEN
The highest tide on 2026-03-22 is expected near the early morning hours around 06:18 AM and again in the evening around 20:00 (though at a slightly lower height).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flood-related impacts. Normal tides and conditions should pose minimal or no flooding concerns in low-lying areas.
NOAA’s flood likelihood forecast for 2026-03-22 is 0.0%, indicating very low risk. Comparisons with past events that reached Category 3 or higher showed lower barometric pressure and/or significantly higher tides than currently forecast. Given the combination of relatively high pressure and tides below 21 ft, historical indicators suggest minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. Early morning high tide at about 06:54 AM (near 19.3 ft) has a moderate pressure of roughly 1015.74 hPa. An evening tide near 21:06 (around 18.5 ft) couples with pressure near 1009.65 hPa—still safely above severe low-pressure thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide: around 06:54 AM. Another high but slightly lower tide around 21:06.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding concerns expected for coastal or low-lying areas. Conditions do not align with previous moderate- or high-category flood events.
Even though the second high tide occurs under somewhat lower barometric pressure compared with Day 1, the overall tide heights remain below the critical range (>21 ft), and NOAA’s official flooding likelihood remains at 0.0%. Past Category 3 or 4 events typically featured more intense conditions (lower pressure, higher tides, or stronger winds).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. The highest forecast tide, near 07:30 AM, reaches roughly 18.8–19 ft alongside barometric pressure of about 1001.78 hPa—still notably above the dangerously low threshold near 992 hPa.
WHEN
Morning high tide near 07:30 AM; another tide peak near 10:30 PM–11:00 PM but with similar conditions, keeping flood potential low.
IMPACTS
No discernible flood impacts expected. Normal tidal fluctuations without significant inundation concerns.
Despite a somewhat lower barometric pressure on Day 3, tides remain below 20 ft, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0.0%. Past Category 3+ events involved more severe conditions (e.g., tides exceeding 20 ft in conjunction with significantly lower pressure). Consequently, Day 3 is classified as Category 2, reflecting no substantial flood risk.
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.
