Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. High tides will reach approximately 18.8 ft, but barometric pressures near 999 hPa remain above the more concerning low-pressure threshold (<992 hPa).
WHEN
Highest tide around 1:30 AM and midday.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Low-lying areas, roads, and property along the immediate shoreline should remain clear of flooding.
• The highest tides for April 23 are close to 18.8 ft, well below the more flood-prone 21+ ft levels of past higher-category events.
• Barometric pressure readings are not particularly low (near 999 hPa), reducing the risk of tidal surges.
• NOAA’s official flood likelihood for April 23 is 0.0%, indicating minimal risk.
• Compared with historical Category 3+ events, the tide height and pressure values here are notably less extreme.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. The early-morning high tide may reach near 19.1 ft, but the pressure is around 997 hPa, which is still well above more critical low-pressure levels observed in past flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide around 2:00 AM and early afternoon.
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
• Although the tide height is slightly higher than Day 1, it remains below the threshold commonly associated with significant flooding (around 21 ft).
• NOAA’s flood likelihood remains 0.0%.
• Historical comparisons (e.g., events exceeding 20 ft with much lower pressure) suggest this is unlikely to approach a flood scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Peak tide near 19.4 ft occurs alongside relatively high barometric pressure (1008–1009 hPa), further reducing flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tide around 2:30 AM and midafternoon.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding impacts. Shoreline and low-lying roads should remain unaffected.
• Even though the tide may approach 19.4 ft, it is still below the levels historically linked with coastal flooding events.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood is again 0.0%, indicating minimal tidal flooding concerns.
• Compared to higher-category historical events (often 20–22+ ft tides with notably lower barometric pressure), these conditions do not pose a substantial risk.
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.
