Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Tides will be relatively high (near 20 ft) in the early morning, but atmospheric pressure is well above critical low thresholds, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains very low.
WHEN
Highest tide near 05:24 AM local time, with a barometric pressure of about 1009.8 hPa.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Normal beach and shoreline usage should be unaffected.
• The observed tide level of around 20.0 ft is below the more critical 21 ft threshold seen in historical flood events.
• Barometric pressure (~1009.8 hPa) is not sufficiently low to raise concern, especially given NOAA’s 0.5% flood likelihood for this date.
• Winds are not forecast from a high-impact direction or at speeds that historically coincided with flooding.
• Compared to events like 01/06/2025 (Category 3) or 12/27/2022 (Category 5), both tide height and barometric pressure are in ranges that suggest minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no coastal flooding is expected. Tides remain high, but NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.0%, indicating minimal concern.
WHEN
Highest tides around 06:00 AM (barometric pressure ~1012.2 hPa) and 07:54 PM (barometric pressure ~1020.7 hPa).
IMPACTS
No known impacts. Low-lying coastal areas will remain accessible, with no anticipated flooding.
• Although early morning tides approach 20 ft, the pressure remains well above 992.8 hPa, the approximate cutoff for significant concern in this region.
• Historical Category 3 or higher flood events featured noticeably lower pressure and/or higher tides.
• Wind conditions are moderate (SW/SSW) and do not align with stronger onshore flows linked to past flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Both projected tidal heights and barometric pressure are outside the typical ranges for flood advisories.
WHEN
Highest tides near 06:36 AM (~1017.5 hPa) and around mid-afternoon (~16:12 local time).
IMPACTS
No impacts expected for beach or shoreline infrastructure.
• Tides, while elevated, remain under the critical 21 ft level and coincide with relatively stable barometric pressure.
• NOAA flood likelihood is 0.0% for 04/02, reinforcing the expectation of no flood conditions.
• Compared to severe past events with lower pressure (e.g., <992.8 hPa) and higher tides, current conditions do not raise flood concerns.
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.
