Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tides will be moderately high (reaching around 17–18 ft at their peak), barometric pressure is not low enough to increase flood risk, and NOAA flood likelihood is at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides on April 10 occur near 09:48 AM (with around 998 hPa) and 06:18 PM (with around 1000 hPa).
IMPACTS
No notable flooding impacts. No inundation issues are expected in low-lying coastal areas, roads, or parks based on current data.
• The maximum tide levels remain well below the 21 ft threshold typically associated with more serious flood events.
• Barometric pressure readings (998–1000 hPa) are significantly higher than the levels seen in historical flooding events (e.g., below ~992 hPa).
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood for this date is 0%.
• Compared to past severe events (e.g., 12/27/2022 Category 5 with over 22 ft tide), conditions remain relatively benign.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will continue to peak near 18 ft but remain below historical flood thresholds, and pressures will be relatively high.
WHEN
Highest tides on April 11 occur near 01:06 AM (about 1004.8 hPa pressure) and 04:48 PM (near 1008.3 hPa).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Low-lying locations along the coast are not expected to experience inundation.
• The measured tides (close to 18 ft) are below typical flood-triggering levels.
• Barometric pressures (1004.8 hPa and higher) indicate stable conditions, not conducive to severe coastal flooding.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood remains at 0%.
• Historical Category 4 or 5 events typically involve tide heights over 20–21 ft and much lower pressures.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Projections include slightly elevated tides near 18 ft, with barometric pressure remaining high.
WHEN
Highest tides on April 12 occur near 01:48 AM (approximately 1007.35 hPa) and 06:00 PM (about 1009.06 hPa).
IMPACTS
No expected flooding. There should be no disruptions to roadways or coastal infrastructure at these levels.
• Although tides reach about 18 ft, this remains below the typical flood benchmark of around 21+ ft in combination with lower barometric pressures.
• Barometric pressure is again relatively high, further reducing the likelihood of flooding.
• NOAA reports 0% flood probability for April 12.
• Conditions differ substantially from historical major flood events (e.g., 12/27/2022: ~22 ft tide and much lower pressure).
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.
