Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No notable flood risk is expected. Although the early morning high tide (peaking near 19.07 ft) is relatively elevated, the barometric pressure near 1009–1006 hPa is not sufficiently low to raise concerns. Winds will generally be out of the south and do not align with the more impactful W/NW directions that historically exacerbate flooding.
WHEN
Highest tide risk window: around 02:30–03:00 AM, again midday around 14:00 PM.
IMPACTS
No overt flooding impacts are anticipated. Localized ponding of water is possible in typical low spots, but no property damage or roadway inundation is expected.
• Compared with historical flood events, the tide level is below the 20+ ft range commonly associated with higher-category floods.
• Barometric pressures are well above severe thresholds (about 992 hPa or lower).
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood sits at 0% for 2025-04-08, further suggesting no anticipated flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again, no significant flood risk is expected. Morning high tide reaches about 19.06 ft around 03:18 AM, but barometric pressure (1003–998 hPa) is still not low enough to create notable coastal flooding. Winds remain primarily out of the south with moderate speeds.
WHEN
Highest water levels: near 03:00 AM and later around 15:00 PM.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts expected at shorelines or roadways. Conditions remain below known flood-trigger thresholds, so no closures or significant inundation are anticipated.
• Tide heights remain under 20 ft, lower than past Category 3–4 events.
• Current wind direction (S/SSW) does not align with directions that typically push large waves inland.
• NOAA’s official Flood Likelihood remains 0% for 2025-04-09.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Coastal flooding is unlikely. The highest tides (peaking around 18.97 ft early in the morning and around 17.27 ft in the afternoon) occur with pressures near 1000–999 hPa, which is not low enough to bring significant surge.
WHEN
Highest stages occur near 03:30–04:00 AM and around 15:48 PM.
IMPACTS
No flooding of property or roads is expected. Any water accumulation near the shore should be minor and confined to usual low-lying zones.
• Historically, more severe flood events involve pressures well below 992 hPa and tides exceeding 20 ft.
• Winds continue from the south or southeast, posing minimal onshore push.
• NOAA’s outlook for 2025-04-10 is also at 0% flood likelihood.
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.
