Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impacts are expected. The highest tide (around 18.9 ft) occurs with a relatively high barometric pressure (~1021.6 hPa), which historically aligns with no flood risk.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:12 AM and again around 07:00 PM, but conditions are not expected to produce flooding.
IMPACTS
• No significant coastal flooding is anticipated.
• Routine tidal fluctuations may affect very low-lying spots, but no property impacts are expected.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is 0% for 2025-03-17.
• Compared to past Category 3 or higher events, tide levels and barometric pressure here do not indicate flood concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impacts are expected. The day's high tides remain below thresholds that have produced flooding in the past, and the barometric pressure is still well above dangerous lows.
WHEN
Highest tides around 06:36 AM (~18.6 ft) and 08:00 PM (~17.8 ft).
IMPACTS
• No property damage or inundation of shoreline areas is expected.
• Any tidal effects will be minimal, with no significant closures anticipated.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0%.
• Historical Category 3 or higher flooding has usually involved lower barometric pressures and tides above 20 ft. These conditions do not match those criteria.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood impacts are expected. Although barometric pressure dips slightly (near 1011.6 hPa), the tide height (~18.2 ft) remains below historical flooding levels.
WHEN
Highest tide near 07:06 AM does not align with critical low pressure or strong onshore winds.
IMPACTS
• Minor or no coastal impacts are expected.
• Local roads and low-lying areas should remain unaffected under current forecasts.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is again 0%.
• Historically, Category 3 or higher floods often present with tides above 20 ft and significantly lower pressure than forecast 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.
