Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tides will reach around 18.7 ft during the early morning hours (approx. 04:12) and near 18.0 ft in the afternoon (approx. 17:18). Barometric pressure is forecast at about 1002 hPa, which is not substantially low. Overall, no flooding is expected.
WHEN
Highest tides occur in the early morning and late afternoon of April 12.
IMPACTS
No flood impacts are anticipated. Roads and low-lying areas should remain clear.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0.0% chance of coastal flooding on April 12 with the tide remaining well below the local flood threshold. Wind speeds are forecast to remain low, further reducing the likelihood of significant coastal water push. Compared to historical flood events that required both very low pressure (below 992.8 hPa) and higher tides (often above 19–20 ft), the conditions on April 12 do not align with past flooding scenarios.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
High tide peaks near 18.6 ft early in the morning (04:30) with barometric pressure around 1006.6 hPa and a midday high tide near 12–13 ft (12:54) at around 1008.7 hPa. These conditions are not expected to produce flooding.
WHEN
Elevated tides occur around early morning and again midday on April 13.
IMPACTS
No direct flood impacts are anticipated. Minor ponding in the usual low spots could occur but is not expected to reach flood levels.
NOAA once again forecasts a 0.0% chance of coastal flooding for April 13. The lack of strong onshore winds and relatively moderate barometric pressures make flooding unlikely. Historic Category 3 and above events typically involve lower barometric pressures (near or below 1000 hPa) combined with higher tide levels, neither of which are predicted for April 13.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
The highest tide may reach around 18.5 ft in the late afternoon (around 18:36) with barometric pressure near 1003.8 hPa. Although this is a relatively high tide, it remains below levels historically associated with flooding.
WHEN
Primary tide peaks in the early afternoon (13:36) and late afternoon (18:36) on April 14.
IMPACTS
No flooding issues are expected. Normal tidal fluctuations should not pose flood-related threats to property or roadways.
All available data, including NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood for April 14 and moderately low—but not critically low—barometric pressure, points to no risk of coastal flooding. Winds remain modest, and the tide heights, while elevated, do not approach the levels seen in historical floods (19+ ft combined with low pressure below 992.8 hPa).
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.
