Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on March 2. Tides will reach around 20.44 ft in the early morning, but the barometric pressure will be significantly high (well above 1020 hPa), which reduces the likelihood of any coastal flooding.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 06:18 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts are expected. Minor ponding could occur in the most low-lying areas, but overall flooding risk is minimal.
• Barometric pressure is forecast near or above 1031 hPa, considerably higher than in past flood events.
• The NOAA flood likelihood for this date remains low (around 4.7%).
• Compared to historical Category 3–5 flood events, current conditions (high pressure, moderate wind) are much less conducive to significant coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on March 3. High tides will again approach 20 ft, but barometric pressure remains quite high (above 1029 hPa).
WHEN
Primary high tide near 06:48 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding is anticipated. Minor, localized water on some low-lying roads may be possible, but conditions do not warrant concern.
• Pressure remains higher than typical flood-prone conditions, which historically require much lower atmospheric pressure to coincide with high tides.
• NOAA flood likelihood data (4.7%) indicates a low chance of coastal flooding.
• Observed wind speeds and directions for this period are not expected to exacerbate water levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected on March 4. Although morning tide levels hover near 20 ft, the barometric pressure around 1025 hPa remains high.
WHEN
Primary high tide near 07:24 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are forecast. Coastal areas should remain clear of rising water concerns.
• NOAA’s daily flood likelihood is even lower (0.9%) on March 4, pointing to minimal coastal flooding potential.
• Past Category 3 or higher events typically combined very high tides (often exceeding 20 ft) with significantly lower air pressure (near or below 1006 hPa). Neither condition is met 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.
