Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides will reach nearly 20 feet around 06:00, but barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1012 hPa). NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0.0%, indicating no coastal flooding is expected.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:00 PST on April 1.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated. Harbors and low-lying areas should not experience adverse conditions.
Compared with historical flood events that reached well above 20 feet and combined with lower barometric pressures, these conditions fall below thresholds commonly associated with even minor coastal flooding. NOAA’s low flood likelihood further supports a Category 2 (no risk of flooding).
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide near 06:36 is projected around 19.3 feet, with barometric pressure above 1017 hPa. These factors remain below known flood-risk thresholds.
WHEN
Highest tide near 06:36 PST on April 2.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding impacts. Normal tidal fluctuations will occur, but the likelihood of any inundation remains negligible.
Historical comparisons show that more severe floods typically involve tides exceeding 20 feet alongside significantly lower barometric pressure (<992.8 hPa). NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood reaffirms there is no danger of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Even though barometric pressure dips slightly (to around 1008.9 hPa), the predicted tides do not exceed 19 feet, and NOAA’s forecast again shows a 0.0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides forecast near 07:18 PST and 22:24 PST on April 3.
IMPACTS
No notable impacts are forecast. Minor tidal changes are expected, but conditions remain well below any flooding threshold.
Compared to previous Category 3+ flood events with both higher tides (over 20 feet) and significantly lower barometric pressures, these levels indicate no realistic risk of coastal flooding. NOAA’s consistently low flood likelihood corroborates a Category 2 assessment.
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.
