Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-04-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Tides will approach ~19.9 ft, but barometric pressure remains well above the critical low threshold (near 992.8 hPa).

WHEN
Highest tidal levels around 04:00 AM and again near 06:00 PM local time.

IMPACTS
No flood impacts are anticipated. Low-lying spots along the shoreline may see very minor water encroachment, but not enough to cause notable flooding or damage.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is reported as Low (0.0%).
• Although the tide is relatively high compared to some minor events, it remains under the ~21 ft trigger historically associated with flood concerns.
• Barometric pressures (~1004.45 hPa at dawn, ~996.96 hPa in the evening) are not low enough to increase the flood threat significantly.


Day 2: 2025-04-29

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tides are projected to reach ~19.95 ft, with partial lowering of barometric pressure but still not at flood-critical levels.

WHEN
Early morning near 04:36 AM, and especially around 07:00 PM for the highest tide of the day.

IMPACTS
No flood impacts are anticipated. Typical minor puddling or wet conditions near shoreline edges may occur, but not at hazardous levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains Low (0.1%).
• The barometric pressure near the morning high tide (~994.6 hPa) is still above the critical range.
• Compared with historical Category 3 and above events, these tides are lower, and pressures are not exceptionally low.


Day 3: 2025-04-30

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. The highest tide (~19.9 ft) remains below the historical threshold for damaging coastal flooding.

WHEN
Peak tides around 05:00 AM and again near 08:00 PM local time.

IMPACTS
No flood impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations without property damage or road closures.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood reads Low (0.0%).
• Barometric pressures (~1001–1002 hPa) are higher than those seen in past serious flood events.
• Historical major floods typically require tides above 21 ft plus very low pressure, which are not met here.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
