Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on April 14. Although tide heights will reach around 18–19 feet, the barometric pressure is not unusually low (around 1012–1013 hPa), and NOAA reports a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides around 02:36 AM and 02:36 PM local time on April 14.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. No significant coastal inundation is expected along the shoreline or low-lying roads.
• Barometric pressures above 1000 hPa generally indicate less severe storm conditions.
• Historical flooding events (Category 3 or higher) typically correlate with lower pressures (often near or below 992.8 hPa) and/or tides exceeding 20–21 feet.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at 0.0% for April 14, further supporting minimal flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on April 15. Tides will again be fairly high (close to 19 feet), but the lowest forecast barometric pressure is around 1006–1010 hPa, which is above the critical threshold. NOAA continues to indicate a 0.0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides around 03:00 AM and 03:30 PM local time on April 15.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of low-lying areas or shorelines. Forecast conditions should not cause any known road closures.
• Although the tide heights are respectable, the barometric pressure remains too high to meaningfully raise flood risk.
• Comparisons with past Category 3 or 4 events show significantly lower pressures and/or higher tidal extremes were present during historic flood incidents.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on April 16. Tides remain high (near 19 feet), but the forecasted barometric pressure is sufficiently elevated (1012–1014 hPa). NOAA continues to project a 0.0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around 03:24 AM and 04:24 PM local time on April 16.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are expected. Coastal areas, parks, and roads along the shoreline should remain unaffected.
• Forecast conditions do not align with historical Category 3 or higher events, which show stronger atmospheric lows or more extreme tide heights.
• Winds remain moderate and are not forecast to generate additional storm surge.
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.
