Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Current forecasts show moderately high tides around 19.0 feet, but barometric pressure remains well above historically low thresholds, reducing the chance of flood conditions.
WHEN
Highest tides will occur near 03:00 AM and 03:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Minimal impacts to coastline.
• Little or no inundation in low-lying areas.
– Barometric pressure at the time of the highest tides (around 1004.87–1006.01 hPa) is notably higher than the 992.8 hPa benchmark often associated with serious coastal flooding.
– NOAA’s official flood likelihood for 2026-04-15 is 0.0%, indicating no concern for coastal flooding.
– Compared with historical Category 3 and 4 events, both tide heights and atmospheric pressure do not align with flood-inducing thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Tides will again reach around 19 feet, but weather indicators remain stable with normal to slightly elevated barometric pressure values.
WHEN
Primary high tides around 03:24 AM and 04:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Very minimal, if any, impacts to coastal areas.
• No anticipated issues for local infrastructure.
– The barometric pressure near high tide (about 1013.93–1013.67 hPa) does not suggest conditions favorable for significant flooding.
– NOAA continues to project a 0.0% flood likelihood, well below thresholds observed in past flooding events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding anticipated. Tides could peak near or slightly above 19.4 feet, but higher atmospheric pressure and low NOAA flood likelihood signal negligible risk.
WHEN
Early-morning high tide around 03:54 AM and late-afternoon high tide near 05:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• Negligible impact along the shoreline.
• Typical tidal conditions with no roadway or property concerns expected.
– Although the tide heights approach 19+ feet, the barometric pressure (1004.75–1004.09 hPa) remains considerably higher than pressures during known flood events.
– NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for 2026-04-17.
– Historically, stronger flooding correlated with tide levels exceeding 20 ft combined with significantly lower pressure (< 1000 hPa). Neither condition appears likely here.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings if conditions change. 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.
