Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flood risk is expected on Thursday. Overall conditions remain calm, with near-normal pressure providing only a minimal boost toward flood potential.
WHEN
Peak water levels mid-morning around 9:24 AM, coinciding with high tide.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Pressure was slightly supportive but still near seasonal norms; tide and wind were minimal factors. An analog day, 2025-01-06 (Cat 3), had higher risk than today’s Category 1 forecast, so current conditions are again quite benign.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Friday will see a routine high tide pushing water levels a bit higher than on Thursday, but still no notable flood risks. The modestly elevated astral tide is the main driver.
WHEN
Peak risk after midnight around 12:36 AM and again in the late morning around 10:54 AM, coinciding with the highest tides of the day.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
A higher tide than Day 1 is the main factor, with slightly below-normal pressure offering a small additional push. Wind remains light and does not contribute meaningfully. An analog day, 2025-01-06 (Cat 3), surpassed today’s Category 2, indicating current conditions are still well below moderate flood thresholds.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Little or no flood threat on Saturday. Slightly lower pressure remains a small factor, but overall conditions are stable.
WHEN
Highest water will occur around midday near 12:30 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Below-normal pressure is the leading factor, though it remains weak. Tidal levels and onshore wind are minimal. Past analogs like 2025-01-06 (Cat 3) are more significant than today’s Category 1, so no issues are expected.
