Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on March 24. Although the morning high tide near 07:30 AM reaches approximately 18.8 ft, the accompanying barometric pressure around 1000.85 hPa is not low enough to raise concerns. NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date remains at 0.0%, indicating minimal flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide occurs around mid-morning (07:00 AM to 08:00 AM) and another high tide in the late evening (near 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM).
IMPACTS
• No flooding anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
• Coastal amenities likely remain unaffected.
Comparing these tide heights and pressure readings against past events, they fall well below thresholds historically associated with flood issues. Forecast wind directions (S to SSE) and moderate speeds do not match previous severe weather patterns. NOAA’s data further supports a low flood risk assessment for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding expected. Morning high tide around 08:24 AM reaches about 18.1 ft, with moderate barometric pressure near 1010.56 hPa. NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0% for March 25.
WHEN
Early morning hours (07:00 AM to 09:00 AM) bring the highest tide, with another peak occurring late afternoon into early evening (approx. 05:00 PM to 07:00 PM).
IMPACTS
• No expected impacts to coastal roads or structures.
• Normal marine activities should be unaffected.
Despite moderately high tides, barometric pressure remains well above the critical low-pressure range (near or below 992.8 hPa). Historical data indicates more severe flooding occurred only with tides exceeding 20 ft or substantially lower pressures. Conditions here do not align with such events, keeping risk in the no-flood category.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk. The day’s highest tides—just under 18 ft—occur near 00:18 AM and again around 09:36 AM, accompanied by barometric pressure in the 1012–1016 hPa range. NOAA’s forecast continues to show 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
• Shortly after midnight (around 00:00 AM to 01:00 AM).
• Mid-morning period near 09:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
IMPACTS
• No notable impacts for coastal communities or transportation.
• Minimal chance of shoreline erosion or property disruption.
When compared to historical flood events, these tides are lower than the 20+ ft levels typically seen with damaging floods, and the barometric pressure is considerably higher than what usually contributes to coastal flooding. With NOAA also indicating negligible flood potential, overall risk remains minimal.
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.
