Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT A routine day with no flood risk, driven mostly by a moderate high tide and near-normal pressure. Conditions are calm enough that flooding is not expected.
WHEN Highest tides occur early morning around 1:54 AM and again in the early afternoon around 2:30 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING Today’s category is determined largely by a modest tidal influence, with pressure near normal and wind contributing very little. One of the similar past events (2023-12-27) reached Category 3, but current conditions remain well below that threshold.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Still no flooding risk, though slightly higher tide levels and below-normal pressure push it into Category 2. Overall conditions remain benign for Redondo Beach.
WHEN Peak tide risk is early morning around 2:30 AM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING The tide is the primary factor, with somewhat reduced pressure offering a minor additional boost. Wind is present but provided negligible contribution. An analog day (2026-02-01) saw Category 3, yet our assessment stays at Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No sign of flooding, but a moderate onshore wind plus a relatively higher tide keep conditions in Category 2. Pressure is near normal, limiting any flood threat.
WHEN High tide peaks in the early morning around 2:54 AM and again late afternoon near 4:36 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate tidal levels remain the main driver, with a modest wind factor providing secondary support. Pressure is sufficiently normal to keep overall risk low. While a past analog (2026-01-06) reached Category 3, today’s outlook stays at Category 2.
