Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-04-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Projected tide heights peak below 18 ft, with barometric pressure above critically low levels.

WHEN
Highest tides around early morning (around 07:36 AM) and late evening (around 10:48 – 11:00 PM).

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Coastal areas are expected to remain unaffected by rising water levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Tide data shows maximum levels near 17.9 ft.
• Barometric pressure readings (near 1002–1009 hPa) are not low enough to suggest elevated flood risk.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood is 0%, indicating minimal chance of flooding.
• Compared to historical Category 3 events at similar tide heights, the NOAA data here differs substantially (very low likelihood), leading to a lower category assessment.


Day 2: 2026-04-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Again, no risk of coastal flooding is indicated. Projected tide heights reach close to 17.8 ft, and barometric pressure remains moderate.

WHEN
Highest tides mid-morning (around 08:30 AM) and midday (around 02:12 PM).

IMPACTS
Coastal roads and property are not expected to experience any flood impacts.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Tide data for Day 2 stays below 18 ft.
• Barometric pressure near 1004 hPa remains safely above the 992.8 hPa threshold that historically correlates with more serious events.
• NOAA continues to show a 0% flood likelihood for the day, reinforcing the no-risk outlook.


Day 3: 2026-04-10

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Despite a somewhat lower barometric pressure (around 995.8 hPa), tide heights remain well under the 20–21 ft range historically linked to flood events. Flooding is not expected.

WHEN
Two primary high tides occur around mid-morning (09:48 AM) and early evening (06:18 PM).

IMPACTS
No adverse impacts are anticipated in shoreline neighborhoods or roadways.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Maximum tide readings approach 17.7–17.8 ft, below the threshold typically associated with coastal inundation.
• Although the pressure dips closer to 995.8 hPa, this is still above the very low-pressure levels linked to historic flood incidents.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains at 0%, indicating no forecasted flooding concerns.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
