Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Current forecasts show a high tide near 19 ft, well below the 21 ft threshold often associated with past flood events. Additionally, barometric pressure is notably high at approximately 1031 hPa, further reducing any chance of flooding.
WHEN
Primary high tide occurs around 05:30 AM PST on 2025-03-15.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts are anticipated.
• Barometric pressure for the morning high tide is around 1031 hPa—significantly higher than what we typically see in flood-prone storms.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for 2025-03-15 is listed as 0.0%, reinforcing that the potential for flooding remains very low.
• Compared to historical events (like 12/27/2022 Category 5), the peak tide here is lower, and the barometric pressure is much higher, indicating no flood risk.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flooding expected. While two higher tidal cycles (one near 05:48 AM and one in the evening) will reach approximately 19 ft, barometric pressures remain around or above 1021 hPa, which is well above the low-pressure levels typically associated with flooding events.
WHEN
Highest tides around 05:48 AM PST and 06:00–07:00 PM PST on 2025-03-16.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated along the shoreline or low-lying areas.
• Both tidal cycles remain under 20 ft and do not approach the 21+ ft critical threshold observed in past floods.
• Barometric pressure readings are consistently on the higher side, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0.0%.
• This is significantly different from severe historical flooding events, which combined very low pressures (below ~992 hPa) with higher tides above 21 ft.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flooding is expected. The forecasted high tides are slightly under 19 ft, with barometric pressure near or above 1021 hPa. Both factors continue to suggest minimal flood risk.
WHEN
Main high tides around 06:12 AM PST and 07:00 PM PST on 2025-03-17.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding or related impacts anticipated.
• Like the previous days, barometric pressure remains elevated, reducing any risk of coastal flooding.
• Tide levels remain below 20 ft, and NOAA’s flood likelihood is again 0.0%.
• Historically, tides exceeding 21 ft combined with low pressure (e.g., below 992 hPa) have driven flood events. Present conditions do not align with those scenarios.
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.
