Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-04-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A routine high tide day is expected, with the main driver being the moderate astronomical tide and slightly supportive pressure. Overall conditions do not indicate a flooding risk.

WHEN
Peak water levels in the early morning around 3:06 AM and again in mid-afternoon near 3:18 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the primary contributor, while pressure added a small effect and onshore wind contributed very little. This day is somewhat similar to the 2023-01-06 Cat 3 event, though actual conditions are less severe here.

Day 2: 2026-04-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood concerns are forecast. Moderate tidal height continues to be the primary factor, with minimal influence from pressure and wind.

WHEN
Higher water levels in the early morning near 3:36 AM and again in the late afternoon around 4:24 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide levels remain the main influence, with only a small contribution from pressure and negligible wind effect. This is broadly similar to the 2023-01-06 Cat 3 event but at a lower intensity.

Day 3: 2026-04-29

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Tidal conditions stay within normal bounds, and no significant flooding is expected. Winds are light to offshore, further reducing any flood risk.

WHEN
Peak tides in the early morning around 4:00 AM and in the late afternoon near 5:18 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide remains the most notable factor, with only a very small positive effect from pressure and a slight offset from wind. Conditions somewhat resemble the 2025-01-06 Cat 3 event, but with lower overall risk this time.
