Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides near 18 ft are expected overnight into early morning. Barometric pressure remains above 1000 hPa, and NOAA’s official flood likelihood for today is 0%. These factors align with a Category 2 event, indicating no flooding risk.
WHEN
From the early hours on 2026-04-12, peaking around 01:48 AM local time.
IMPACTS
No indication of flood impacts for shorelines or low-lying areas.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
• The higher tide around 01:48 AM reaches approximately 18.28 ft but is below historical flooding thresholds.
• Barometric pressure at this time (~1010.88 hPa) is well above critical low pressure levels associated with past flood events.
• NOAA data shows a 0.0% flood likelihood, supporting a negligible risk assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Another set of elevated tides, briefly reaching around 18.53 ft in the early morning. Local barometric pressure readings remain high (~1021 hPa). No flood risk is indicated by NOAA.
WHEN
Peak water levels near 02:18 AM local time.
IMPACTS
No flooding expected; coastal areas and roadways should remain unaffected.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
• Historically, combined factors (tide height exceeding 20 ft with notably low pressure) have led to minor or moderate floods; these conditions are not met.
• NOAA’s data again shows a 0.0% flood likelihood, indicating minimal cause for concern.
• Winds are primarily light to moderate, further reducing any storm surge potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides peak near 18.80 ft overnight, with barometric pressure ranging 1013–1017 hPa. NOAA continues to project a 0.0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Higher tides near 02:36 AM and again around mid-day.
IMPACTS
With no flood triggers indicated by local or NOAA data, there is no anticipated coastal flooding.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
• Although 18+ ft is a relatively high tide, the pressure is not sufficiently low to raise concerns.
• Consistent with NOAA’s low flood likelihood forecast, and absent strong onshore winds, conditions do not suggest flooding.
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 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
