Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will peak near 19.3 ft in the early morning hours, which is below the typical 21 ft threshold historically associated with elevated flooding concerns. Barometric pressure remains above 992.8 hPa and wind speeds are not forecasted to be strong or from the most concerning directions (W/NW).
WHEN
Highest tide around 3:36 AM on March 27.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas should remain unaffected by these conditions.
• NOAA indicates a negligible flood likelihood (0.0%) for March 27, consistent with the moderate tide height and relatively higher barometric pressure (around 1013.8 hPa).
• Historical Category 3–5 flood events typically include tide heights above 20 ft combined with significantly lower barometric pressure or strong onshore winds. These conditions are not present for Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Similarly, no risk of flooding is expected. Tides will peak slightly under 20 ft, again below critical levels for Redondo Beach. Barometric pressure continues to stay well above the 992.8 hPa threshold, further reducing flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide around 4:00 AM on March 28.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts to coastal areas; flooding of roads or low-lying zones is not expected.
• NOAA’s forecast remains at 0.0% flood likelihood, and the pressure ranges near 1015 hPa.
• Compared with historical Category 4 or 5 events, which often combine 20+ ft tides and much lower barometric pressures, current conditions do not indicate a heightened flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding continues into Day 3. The tide is projected to peak just below 20 ft, and barometric pressure remains moderately high, diminishing the chance of any flood-related issues.
WHEN
Highest tide around 4:24 AM to 4:30 AM on March 29.
IMPACTS
Minimal to no coastal flooding concerns. No known impacts to transportation or property.
• NOAA flood likelihood for March 29 is 0.1%, which aligns with the forecast of generally calm conditions, moderate tides, and relatively stable atmospheric pressure (around 1017 hPa).
• Historically, more severe floods in this region have involved peaks above 21 ft combined with low barometric pressure (<992.8 hPa). These circumstances are absent for Day 3.
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.
