Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although onshore winds may be present, high barometric pressure and moderate high-tide levels below 21 ft suggest that coastal flooding is unlikely.
WHEN
Highest tide near 10:30 AM PST, with barometric pressure around 1023–1025 hPa.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding of roads or low-lying areas is anticipated.
• The maximum tide (approximately 18.1 ft) is lower than the 21 ft threshold typically correlated with flooding in this region.
• Barometric pressure is well above the critical low-pressure benchmark (approximately 992.8 hPa), reducing the risk of surge-driven flooding.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-03-07 is 0.0%, indicating minimal concern for coastal flooding.
• Historical comparisons (e.g. Category 3 events) show more favorable (i.e., lower) pressure conditions and higher flood likelihood in those past cases.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected once again. Tidal heights remain below the level of concern, and the barometric pressure remains high.
WHEN
Highest tide near 2:00–3:00 AM PST, peaking at roughly 18.5 ft under a barometric pressure around 1025 hPa.
IMPACTS
No substantial impacts expected; primary shorelines and low-lying areas should remain unaffected.
• Tides still below the 21 ft mark used as a critical flood reference, and pressure remains high (above 1024 hPa).
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• Winds, while onshore at times, are not strong enough to seriously elevate water levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Even though the highest tide could approach 19 ft, the lower barometric pressure (about 1011–1016 hPa) is still considerably higher than previous documented flood events.
WHEN
Highest tides near 3:00 AM PST (~19.0 ft) and around midday (~17.1 ft).
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding in low-lying areas or along the immediate shoreline is anticipated.
• Although pressure is a bit lower this day compared to the prior two days, it remains well above typical flood-trigger levels (sub-992 hPa).
• Tides remain below 21 ft; historical Category 4+ events generally exceed that threshold or combine very low pressure with very high tides.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%.
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.
