Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 indicates no flooding risk. The primary driver is the moderate tidal height, with only a slight influence from near-normal pressure and minimal onshore wind.
WHEN
Peak water levels are expected early morning around 3:06 AM and again in the mid-afternoon near 3:18 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide was the dominant factor, with pressure slightly contributing. Wind made little difference. A past day with comparable conditions was 2023-01-06, classified as Category 3, but current conditions are less severe, resulting in Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 again indicates no flooding risk. The forecast shows a slightly lower tide compared to the day before, and pressure remains near or above normal.
WHEN
Highest tides will occur pre-dawn around 3:36 AM, with another peak in late afternoon near 4:24 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tide levels are the main factor, while the pressure is fairly normal and wind remains light onshore. A similar past event was 2026-02-01 (Category 3), but today’s conditions are milder, keeping it at Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 continues for this day, still reflecting no flooding risk. The tide is slightly lower than the earlier days, and above-normal pressure further reduces flood potential.
WHEN
Peak water levels in the early morning near 4:00 AM, followed by another crest in the early evening around 5:18 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tide remains the leading factor, but pressure is higher than average, which lessens any flood potential. A close analog day was 2025-01-06 (Cat 3), yet the higher pressure now keeps us at Category 2.
