Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
A Category 3 event is forecast, driven mostly by above-normal tidal levels. Pressure adds a small positive influence, while wind slightly reduces overall risk.
WHEN
Peak water levels are expected around the morning and evening high tides (approximately 06:00 and 20:06 local time).
IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
• No major property impacts expected.
REASONING
Tide contributed the most (+0.354) to the total score; pressure added a smaller amount (+0.069). This scenario is similar to the 2023-12-27 Cat 3 event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Another Category 3 day, again primarily due to elevated tide levels with a moderate low-pressure component. Wind remains neutral in its effect.
WHEN
Highest risk coincides with the early morning and late evening high tides (around 06:36 and 21:06 local time).
IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
• No major property impacts expected.

Tide was the key factor (+0.354), with pressure adding (+0.107). This aligns well with days like 2023-12-27’s Cat 3 event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A lower Category 2 is indicated, suggesting routine conditions. Tides remain somewhat elevated, but pressure and wind contributions do not add significant flood risk.
WHEN
Peak water levels occur near 07:24 and 22:12 local time, though no significant flooding is anticipated.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide contributes most (+0.318), with pressure adding slightly (+0.058). The closest analog days are Cat 3 events, but this forecast only reaches Cat 2.
