Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No notable flood risk is expected. Although tides will reach mid to upper 18 feet at their peak, barometric pressure remains above the historically low thresholds associated with severe flooding, and NOAA Flood Likelihood shows 0.0%.
WHEN
Highest tide around 05:54 AM and 19:54 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• No flooding concerns anticipated in low-lying coastal areas.
• Normal daily activity is expected to be unaffected.
Comparing with previous events, historical Category 3 or higher floods typically included either significantly higher tide levels (above ~19–20 ft) or notably lower barometric pressure (at or below ~992 hPa) with moderate-to-high NOAA flood likelihood. For 2026-04-05, the highest tide near 18.5 ft and barometric pressures around 1002–1005 hPa, combined with a NOAA flood likelihood of 0.0%, indicates no significant risk of coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no notable flood threat. Tidal peaks around 18+ feet will coincide with barometric pressures near or above 1006 hPa, which historically do not trigger coastal flooding in this region.
WHEN
Highest water levels near 06:24 AM and 20:42 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Normal tidal fluctuations with no expected inundation.
• No significant impacts to recreational, commercial, or residential activities.
Historically, Category 4 and 5 flood events required combined factors of lower barometric pressure (often around or below 992–1002 hPa) and tide heights above ~20 ft. NOAA also indicates “Low” flood likelihood for this date at 0.0%. Current conditions do not approach the thresholds observed in prior serious flood events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk. Peak tides around 17.9–18.1 ft, with barometric pressure near 1008 hPa, remain well below the conditions seen in even moderate flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide times fall near 07:00 AM and 21:42 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• No concerns for flooding of coastal roads or neighborhoods.
• Coastal areas remain fully accessible with little to no disruption.
NOAA continues to show a 0.0% flood likelihood for the date. Past Category 3 events generally reached ~17–20 ft but also had a verifiable NOAA flood risk or unusually low pressure. This forecast’s combination of moderate tide heights, moderate-to-higher barometric pressure, and negligible NOAA risk classification aligns with a Category 2 “no-risk” scenario.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any possible future 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.
