Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Although tides will reach moderate levels (peaking near 18 ft), barometric pressure remains relatively high (around 1005–1008 hPa), and NOAA indicates a low (0%) flood likelihood.
WHEN
The highest tide on April 19 is projected in the late evening (around 22:54 PDT), but it is not forecast to produce flooding.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Shorelines and nearby low-lying areas should not experience inundation.
Compared to historical events where flooding occurred (e.g., Category 3 or above), the barometric pressure in this forecast is substantially higher, and NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0%. While the tide height is moderate, it does not align with the critical lower-pressure scenarios or the higher tidal heights (above 20 ft) that have contributed to flooding in the past.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Continued no risk of flooding. Tides approach but do not exceed historical flood thresholds, and again, NOAA’s data shows a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Watch for higher tides around early morning (08:18 PDT) and late afternoon/early evening (17:54 PDT).
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding impacts are expected; roads and low-lying areas should remain accessible.
Barometric pressure readings (roughly 1005–1010 hPa) stay well above historically significant lows. Wind speeds and directions are not in a range known to aggravate tidal surges. Consequently, conditions should remain safe, with no indication of even minor flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding. Although there is a slightly lower barometric pressure reading near mid-afternoon (about 1003.8 hPa), the tide heights are not projected to reach typical flood-trigger levels, and NOAA’s likelihood remains at 0%.
WHEN
Highest tide levels occur around midnight (00:00–00:54 PDT) and late evening (near 23:54 PDT), but these remain below the levels associated with prior flood events.
IMPACTS
No significant impacts are expected along shorelines or adjacent low-lying areas.
Even with somewhat lower pressure, it remains well above the historically low values (near or below 992 hPa) that have led to notable flooding. Tides stay below 20 ft, and NOAA’s data ranks the daily flood probability as low. Compared to past flooding instances (which often coincided with significantly lower pressures and higher tides), these conditions pose no imminent flood threat.
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.
