Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-04-01

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No notable flood impacts are expected on this day. Tides may reach around 19.4 ft during high tide early in the morning, but barometric pressure remains above 1000 hPa, significantly higher than the historical low-pressure benchmarks associated with flood events.

WHEN
Main high tide peak around 04:18 AM local time.

IMPACTS
No significant flooding or property damage anticipated. Low-lying coastal areas will remain largely unaffected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric pressure observed near 1012.75 hPa during the highest tide—well above the critical threshold of ~992.8 hPa historically linked to increased flood risk.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood for 2026-04-01 is 0.0%, further indicating minimal risk.
• Winds are relatively light and not from a flooding-exacerbating direction.


Day 2: 2026-04-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood concerns expected. Tide levels could approach 19 ft, but the forecast barometric pressure remains stable at about 1011–1014 hPa, and NOAA’s outlook indicates no likelihood of flooding.

WHEN
Highest tide of the day near 12:36 PM local time.

IMPACTS
Minimal impacts. No significant flooding of roadways or property is expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Pressure near 1014.73 hPa with the midday high tide, higher than documented low-pressure flood scenarios.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• Historical Category 3–5 events typically involved both higher tides (>20 ft) and lower barometric pressures (<1000 hPa). Those conditions are not present here.


Day 3: 2026-04-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood impacts anticipated. Though tides could reach 18–19 ft, barometric pressure readings near 1009–1010 hPa remain well above pressure levels typically associated with coastal flooding events in this region.

WHEN
Two notable high-tide periods—around 05:00 AM and then 06:00–07:00 PM local time—but neither is expected to pose a flood threat.

IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding or property damage concerns expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• NOAA’s stated flood likelihood for 2026-04-03 is 0.0%, and historical data show significantly lower barometric pressure needed to increase flood risk.
• Winds mainly from the south to southeast at moderate speeds; not a direction known to amplify tidal surges in Redondo Beach, WA.
