Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-03-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Barometric pressure is notably low (near 992.8 hPa at the morning high tide), but tide levels remain well below critical flood thresholds.

WHEN
Highest water levels occur around 01:24 AM and again late morning near 10:12 AM.

IMPACTS
No significant impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas will remain unaffected under current forecasts.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Despite the low pressure (close to 992.8 hPa), the highest tide (about 17–18 ft) does not align with the historically more serious 21 ft threshold. NOAA’s likelihood assessment is 0%, suggesting minimal threat of coastal flooding. Compared to past Category 3 or 4 events, these tides and pressures are insufficient to produce flooding conditions.


Day 2: 2025-03-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding anticipated.

WHEN
Peak tides occur near midday (around 11:42 AM) and late afternoon (around 5:00 PM). Barometric pressure is forecast around 1005–1007 hPa, which is significantly higher than the critical low-pressure benchmarks.

IMPACTS
No direct flooding impacts are expected. Minor water level increases along the coast, but conditions remain below flood thresholds.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Tides approach 18 ft, still below the 21 ft range seen in notable flood events. The higher barometric pressure further reduces any flood potential. NOAA projects a 0% flood likelihood with a distance to threshold of nearly 3 m, indicating minimal cause for concern.


Day 3: 2025-03-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is forecast.

WHEN
High tides occur early morning (around 2:48 AM) and midday (around 1:00 PM). Barometric pressure hovers near 1003–1005 hPa, which is above the typical low-pressure zone that usually raises coastal flood concerns.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are expected. Coastal areas remain safe from inundation.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Though the tide may approach the upper teens (roughly 18–19 ft), it remains below critical 21+ ft indicated in past flood events. NOAA continues to rate flood likelihood at 0%. Consequently, the combination of moderately high tides and relatively higher pressure keeps the flood risk in the no-risk range.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
