Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. Tides will be higher than normal (peaking near 16 ft), but barometric pressure remains above critical low thresholds, and NOAA projects a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides around 08:30 AM and 2:12 PM.
IMPACTS
No flooding issues anticipated. Typical activities along the shoreline should not be affected.
Historically, Category 3 events have involved higher tides (above 17 ft) coupled with lower barometric pressures or noticeable NOAA flood likelihood. Today's maximum tide is somewhat elevated but below 17 ft, and measured pressure around 1004 hPa remains well above the historically significant low (near 992–993 hPa). NOAA’s current flood likelihood is 0%, indicating conditions are not conducive to flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding despite a slightly lower morning pressure (near 998 hPa). Tides could approach 17+ ft by late evening, but overall conditions do not meet the criteria for flooding risk.
WHEN
Highest tides around 09:48 AM and 6:18 PM.
IMPACTS
No notable flooding or property damage concerns expected. Wind velocity is moderate; current indicators suggest normal coastal conditions.
Although the barometric pressure briefly dips toward 997–998 hPa, it is still above the critical low threshold (~992.8 hPa). Historical comparisons (for example, 12/27/2023’s Category 3 event) involved NOAA indicating a notable flood likelihood. In contrast, NOAA’s data gives 0% likelihood for 04/10/2026, reinforcing that no flood-related issues are anticipated.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is forecast. The day’s maximum tide could near 18 ft but will coincide with a stable barometric pressure near 1004 hPa, and NOAA again projects 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tides around 01:06 AM and mid-to-late afternoon (near 4:48 PM).
IMPACTS
No inundation or property impacts expected. Local shorelines and roadways should remain clear of flood-related disruptions.
Even though the peak tide approaches 18 ft, comparisons to higher-risk historical events (such as 12/27/2022 at Category 5 with tide over 22 ft and very low pressure ~978 hPa) confirm that today’s conditions are insufficient to produce flooding. NOAA’s assessment corroborates minimal concern, with 0% flood likelihood.
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, but major property damage is uncertain.
• Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
