Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No notable flooding is anticipated. Although the tide will reach higher levels (peaking near 18 ft), barometric pressure remains relatively high (above 1000 hPa), and NOAA’s likelihood of flooding is 0%.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around mid-morning and early afternoon on April 4, but no inundation issues are expected during that time.
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations should not affect roads or infrastructure.
• Tide heights for April 4 will approach 18 ft but remain below historically significant flood levels (well under the 20+ ft seen in past moderate flooding events).
• Mean barometric pressure is well above 992.8 hPa, which historically correlates with more serious flood risk.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis reports a 0.0% chance of flooding for April 4.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Tides will once again be elevated (near 18 ft) but accompanied by stable or slightly higher barometric pressures, and NOAA’s data still shows minimal flood likelihood.
WHEN
Highest tide periods are projected in the early afternoon and later evening on April 5.
IMPACTS
No direct flooding concerns. Saltwater intrusion into low-lying areas is unlikely.
• Compared to historical Category 3 or 4 events that involved lower barometric pressure or tides above 20 ft, conditions remain mild.
• Wind speeds and directions do not indicate a surge event; winds are forecast at modest levels.
• NOAA data indicates 0.0% flood likelihood for April 5, supporting a lack of inundation concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Continued high tides near 18–19 ft, but with no expectation of coastal flooding based on stable barometric pressures (generally above 1000 hPa) and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tide is overnight into early morning on April 6 and again around midday, but no flooding is projected during these times.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts to property or infrastructure are expected.
• Even though tides could approach the 18–19 ft range, this remains below historic flood-producing levels of 20+ ft combined with notably low barometric pressure.
• With moderate onshore winds and high pressure persisting, conditions do not match the more severe historical flood scenarios.
• NOAA continues to forecast 0.0% flood likelihood for April 6.
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.
