Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected (Category 1). Slightly above-normal atmospheric pressure is present, but overall conditions remain well below flood thresholds.
WHEN
A routine high tide will occur in the morning, around 9:24 AM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Pressure provided the main upward influence on the category, though not enough to approach flood levels. Tidal factors and wind were minimal. Although an analogous past date like 2025-01-06 reached Category 3, today’s conditions are much weaker, resulting in a lower category.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Still no flood risk (Category 2), but tides are somewhat higher than yesterday. Pressure remains slightly supportive, though not low enough to pose concern.
WHEN
High tides occur just after midnight around 12:36 AM and again late morning near 10:54 AM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide height is the primary driver of the Category 2 classification, with pressure contributing modestly. Wind is negligible. This is somewhat similar to the 2025-01-06 Cat 3 event, though conditions now are less intense, keeping the rating lower.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Continued no flooding risk (Category 1). Pressure is slightly lower than previous days, but wind offsets any additional tide or pressure effects.
WHEN
A moderate daytime high tide period peaks around midday, near 12:30 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Pressure was the main positive factor, but a light offshore wind reduced any possible tidal effect. Past analog days that were Category 3 or higher do not apply here, since conditions remain much more benign.
