Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Category 2 indicates routine conditions with no significant flooding risk. Tides are the main factor here, but levels are not high enough to pose a concern.
WHEN Peak risk would coincide with the morning and evening high tides around 05:24 and 19:12 local time.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Tide contributed most (+0.331) to the score, with slight positive influence from pressure and a small negative wind factor. A similar past day was 2025-01-06 (Cat 3), but today’s conditions are less intense, resulting in a lower Category 2 outcome.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Conditions are close to flood levels, mainly driven by higher tide and somewhat lower pressure. Residents should stay updated, as water could briefly accumulate at the shoreline.
WHEN Highest caution near the early morning high tide (~06:00) and evening high tide (~20:06).
IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
REASONING Tide (+0.352) and pressure (+0.068) combined to reach Category 3. This setup is similar to the 2023-12-27 Cat 3 event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Again, conditions remain near flood threshold due to rising tide levels and moderate pressure. Shoreline areas may see brief water encroachment, especially during peak tides.
WHEN Focus on the morning high tide (~06:36) and late evening high tide (~21:06).
IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
REASONING Tide (+0.352) was the primary factor, with a smaller boost from pressure (+0.056). This resembles the 2023-12-27 Cat 3 scenario.
