Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will be high (around 20 feet) but are paired with very high barometric pressure readings (above 1028 hPa), which historically indicate low flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tides near 06:48 AM and 07:00 PM PST on March 3.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding of property or roads. No significant coastal inundation concerns based on the current conditions.
• Barometric pressure is significantly higher than in past flood events, reducing the likelihood of coastal flooding.
• NOAA reports only a 4.7% flood likelihood for March 3, which is low compared to historical flood triggers.
• Winds remain mostly light to moderate and southerly, which are not strongly conducive to piling additional water onshore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While tides remain fairly high, barometric pressure stays well above critical low-pressure thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tides near 07:24 AM and again close to 09:00 PM PST on March 4.
IMPACTS
No anticipated roadway or property flooding. Minimal impact in low-lying coastal areas.
• NOAA forecasts a very low (0.9%) flood likelihood for March 4.
• Peak tide heights comparable to March 3 but barometric pressure is still high (roughly 1024–1029 hPa).
• Winds remain moderate; no significant onshore push is expected from west or northwest directions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tide levels are high but do not coincide with the kind of low atmospheric pressure historically linked to coastal inundation events.
WHEN
Highest tide periods around 08:00 AM and midday (13:06 PM) PST on March 5.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding or inundation issues are anticipated; no disruptions to normal activities expected.
• NOAA’s provided flood likelihood for March 5 is 0.0%, indicating virtually no expected flooding.
• Barometric pressures remain near or above 1030 hPa, significantly higher than in past moderate or major flood events.
• Historically, coastal flooding in this area has required tide heights over 21 feet paired with notably low pressure (e.g., below ~1002 hPa); these conditions are not present in this forecast window.
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.
