Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on this day. Tides will reach around the mid-16 ft range, which is higher than usual but still below the levels historically associated with flood events in this area.
WHEN
Highest tides are around 08:30 and 14:12 local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated. Usual coastal conditions apply, and no significant property or roadway impacts are expected.
• Barometric pressures near these high tides (1004–1005 hPa) are above the critical low-pressure thresholds seen in past flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2026-04-09 is 0.0%, reinforcing no expected flooding.
• Compared to historical Category 3 and 4 events, the tide height and barometric pressure on this day are insufficient to pose a flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected despite a relatively lower barometric pressure reading (around 998 hPa) during the morning tide. Tides remain below the 20 ft levels seen in past moderate or severe flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide near 09:48 and another high tide in the evening near 18:18 local time.
IMPACTS
No immediate coastal flooding. Normal tidal fluctuations should not encroach upon low-lying areas beyond usual wave action.
• Even though 998 hPa is on the lower side relative to other days, it is still not at or below the ~992.8 hPa benchmark that historically correlates with more serious events.
• Tide heights near 15–16 ft, which is notably lower than the 20+ ft scenario typically seen in Category 3 or higher historical floods.
• NOAA’s data continues to show a 0.0% flood likelihood for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. The early morning tide approaches 18 ft, higher than on previous days, but still short of the more critical 20+ ft thresholds typically linked with flood concerns.
WHEN
The most significant high tide appears near 01:06 local time, with lighter tidal peaks in the late afternoon.
IMPACTS
No major impacts anticipated. Shorelines and low-lying roads are not expected to flood, and local activities can proceed as normal.
• Barometric pressure (about 1004–1005 hPa) remains too high to ignite conditions similar to historical flood events.
• NOAA predicts 0.0% chance of coastal flooding for 2026-04-11, further confirming the low flood potential.
• Although nearing 18 ft, past Category 3 events generally combined higher tide heights and confirmed NOAA flood alerts.
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.
