Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT A routine high tide is the primary driver for a Category 2 classification. Conditions are expected to remain well below flood thresholds.
WHEN Peak high tide risk in the early morning near 4:24 AM and another peak in the early evening near 6:06 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderately high tide was the main factor, with near-normal atmospheric pressure and minimal onshore wind contribution. This is somewhat lower risk than the 2025-01-06 Cat 3 event, which had higher overall conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Another day with a moderately high tide and normal to slightly lower pressure, keeping conditions in Category 2 without a flood threat.
WHEN Highest water levels will occur near 4:48 AM and again in the early evening near 6:48 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The tide remains the most significant factor, with mildly supportive lower pressure. Wind plays little role. Analog days like 2023-12-27 were Cat 3, which was higher than this forecast.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT Tide levels are a bit lower, and pressure trends remain only mildly supportive, resulting in Category 1. No flooding is expected.
WHEN Early morning high tide near 5:12 AM is the main time of elevated water, though at a lesser level than prior days.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Slightly lower astronomical tide is the primary contributor. Pressure is a bit below normal but not enough to increase risk. Similar past days, such as 2025-01-06 (Cat 3), had higher overall conditions than expected here.
