Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will peak near 16–17 ft, and the barometric pressure readings (around 1002 hPa for the first high tide) are not low enough to raise concern, particularly since flood events in this area generally require tides above 21 ft and notably lower pressure to pose a significant threat.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 07:36 AM and 04:42 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal daily activities along the shoreline and low-lying areas should not be affected.
• NOAA’s daily flood likelihood for 2026-04-08 is 0.0%, indicating little to no chance of coastal flooding.
• Historical comparisons show that more serious flood events occur when tides exceed 21 ft, often paired with notably lower barometric pressure (well below 992 hPa). These conditions are not present on Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Projected high tides around 16–17 ft remain below the 21 ft threshold commonly associated with flood events in Redondo Beach. Barometric pressure (approximately 1004 hPa) is not low enough to warrant additional concern.
WHEN
Highest tide times near 08:30 AM and 02:12 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts to coastal areas. Shorelines, roads, and parks are not expected to experience tidal flooding.
• NOAA forecasts 0.0% flood likelihood for 2026-04-09.
• Winds remain generally light and from a northerly or northwesterly direction, which historically has not produced the onshore push required to elevate flood risk at these tide heights.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding again on Day 3, despite a slightly lower barometric pressure near 995.8 hPa. Tides will still be below 21 ft, so conditions are not expected to approach the threshold for a coastal flood event.
WHEN
Highest tides expected around 09:48 AM and 06:18 PM local time.
IMPACTS
Shorelines and low-lying areas should remain unaffected by coastal flooding; daily activities and travel in waterfront areas can proceed as normal.
• NOAA indicates 0.0% flood likelihood for 2026-04-10.
• Although barometric pressure is somewhat lower compared to the previous days, the tide forecasts do not exceed the 21 ft benchmark historically associated with flooding risk in this region.
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; may occur but not expected to cause major property damage.
• Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
