Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the evening high tide will reach roughly 18 feet, barometric pressure around 1000 hPa remains well above the critical low (near 992.8 hPa) that has historically heightened flood risk.
WHEN
Highest water levels are anticipated around 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM PDT on 2026-04-07.
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are expected. Beaches, marinas, and nearby roads should remain unaffected.
• Compared to past Category 3 events, the NOAA forecast indicates 0.0% likelihood of flooding for this date.
• The barometric pressure is not low enough to generate increased storm surge, and the observed tide heights, while moderately high, remain below critical historical flood thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding is expected. Tides peak near 17–17.7 feet, and barometric readings (about 1004–1009 hPa) stay substantially above the severe-weather range.
WHEN
Peak tidal levels will occur in two windows: early morning (around 7:30 AM) and late evening (around 9:00–10:00 PM PDT).
IMPACTS
No significant inundation is anticipated. Normal coastal and road conditions are expected.
• NOAA’s daily flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, indicating minimal concern.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or 4 events, the combination of moderate tide heights and relatively higher pressure presents very low flood potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Morning and afternoon high tides are forecast to remain below 18 feet, and pressure readings near 1005 hPa do not suggest a significant storm influence.
WHEN
Highest water levels may occur around mid-day (approximately 1:00–2:00 PM) and in the early morning around 8:00–9:00 AM PDT.
IMPACTS
No notable coastal flooding or property impacts are forecast.
• NOAA’s outlook continues to show 0.0% flood likelihood.
• Wind speeds remain light, and there is no indication of the lower barometric pressures (below ~992 hPa) typically associated with heightened coastal flood events.
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.
