Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected at this time. The barometric pressure remains around 1000–1005 hPa during the high tides, which is not sufficiently low to contribute to significant coastal flooding. Tides will peak around 17–18 ft, below historical flooding thresholds.
WHEN
No specific timeframe of concern. The highest tide occurs near the evening hours around 21:00–22:00 PST.
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations will prevail, and shoreline areas should remain unaffected.
NOAA’s forecast indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood for 2025-03-20, and barometric pressure readings are not near historically low levels (<992.8 hPa) typically associated with coastal flooding. Compared with similar historical Category 3 events (where tides above 17 ft coincided with lower pressures and a higher NOAA flood likelihood), these current conditions remain below the threshold.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is anticipated. While barometric pressure briefly dips to around 999–1000 hPa, it is still not low enough to elevate flood risk. Tides again peak near 17–18 ft, which is lower than major flood events in the historical record.
WHEN
No heightened risk period. The highest tide occurs near 08:00 and late in the day around 23:40–23:50 PST.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding of infrastructure. No closures or damage are expected.
NOAA’s data continues to reflect a 0.0% likelihood of flooding on 2025-03-21, with distances to the flood threshold exceeding 3 m below historical flood triggers. Past Category 3 or higher events occurred under more severe conditions (lower pressures and higher likelihood estimates).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is indicated for March 22. Barometric pressures remain above 1000 hPa, and tide peaks remain well below the levels typically associated with coastal inundation in this area.
WHEN
No particular period of concern. Highest tides occur in the late afternoon to evening.
IMPACTS
No property or roadway flooding is expected. Standard tidal variations are anticipated.
Observations show a 0.0% flood likelihood from NOAA, with calm to moderate wind mostly from the south. Comparison to historical high-pressure, mid-range tide events (Category 1 or 2) confirms no notable flooding threat.
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.
