Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will reach near 18 feet, but barometric pressure remains well above 992.8 hPa, reducing any flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tides around 01:06 AM and 04:48 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding is anticipated. No significant impacts to property or roadways are expected.
• Barometric pressure is projected between 1006.77 hPa and 1009.09 hPa, which is high compared to historical flood events.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood for 2026-04-11 is 0.0%, reinforcing the expectation of no flooding.
• Winds remain relatively calm with no strong onshore push, limiting potential tide surges.
• Historically, flood events of Category 4 or 5 involved markedly lower pressure (at or below ~992 hPa) combined with higher tides (generally exceeding 20 ft). Current conditions do not approach these thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Although tides again approach 18 feet, persistently high barometric pressure and low NOAA flood likelihood indicate stable coastal conditions.
WHEN
Highest tides around 01:48 AM and 06:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding or damage to property is expected. Normal tidal fluctuations should not disrupt daily activities.
• Barometric pressure is forecast at approximately 1008.99 hPa overnight, rising to near 1020.22 hPa later in the day—both indicating minimal flood risk.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood remains 0.0% for 2026-04-12.
• Winds from the south to southwest are generally light, further lowering the possibility of coastal water piling.
• Compared to Category 3 and higher past events, today’s pressure-tide combination shows no significant likelihood for inundation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Tides near 18 feet coincide with continued high atmospheric pressure, keeping water levels below any known flood thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tides around 07:12 PM and 08:24 PM local time.
IMPACTS
No adverse flooding impacts anticipated. Coastal areas should see only routine high tides.
• Barometric pressure readings hover near 1019.33 hPa, notably above the historical low-pressure benchmarks that contributed to past flood events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for 2026-04-13 is again 0.0%, consistent with low flood thresholds.
• Prevailing wind directions do not align with conditions that typically exacerbate water buildup against the shoreline.
• Historical comparisons reveal that serious flood risks (Category 4 or above) in this region require both higher tides (exceeding ~20 ft) and notably lower barometric pressure, neither of which materializes here.
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.
