Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Tides will reach close to 19.4 ft in the early morning hours, but barometric pressure remains above extreme low thresholds (around 1004 hPa). NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood (0.0%). Overall, no risk of flooding is expected.
WHEN
The highest tide occurs around 03:42 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated at this time. Low-lying roads, beaches, or parking areas are unlikely to be affected given current forecasts.
• Tide heights approach, but do not exceed, 21 ft.
• Barometric pressures are not low enough (<992.8 hPa) to amplify coastal flooding risk.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood analysis for 2025-03-10 remains at 0.0%, aligning with historical data showing no flooding when tides stay under ~21 ft and pressures remain above ~992 hPa.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Morning high tide may reach about 19.5 ft, paired with slightly lower barometric pressure (near 1007 hPa at 04:12 AM and around 1001 hPa at midday). Despite this, NOAA’s data still show essentially no flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide near 04:12 AM PST, with a secondary high tide early afternoon.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding is anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas. Minor ponding on beaches or boat launches during peak tide is possible but unlikely to cause damage.
• Although barometric pressure dips slightly lower than on Day 1, it stays well above the critical ~992 hPa range seen in past severe events.
• Tide heights remain below 21 ft.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains 0.0%, consistent with Category 2 conditions (“No risk of flooding”) based on historical comparisons.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Early morning tide heights around 19.5 ft again, with barometric pressure near 1008–1009 hPa. Afternoon and evening tides are much lower. NOAA indicates no expected coastal flooding.
WHEN
Highest morning tide near 04:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS
Conditions are similar to the previous days, with no inundation expected. Typical low-lying areas along the shoreline should remain accessible without issues.
• The barometric pressure is moderate, further reducing any coastal flood potential despite somewhat high morning tide.
• Winds remain generally from the south/southeast, not from the west/northwest directions that have historically worsened flooding in this region.
• NOAA persistently forecasts a 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-03-12.
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.
