Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Expect routine conditions with no flooding concerns. Tides are near average levels, and pressure is within normal ranges, resulting in a low overall risk.
WHEN Peak tides in the early morning around 3:30 AM and again late afternoon near 5:30 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The moderately high astronomical tide was the main contributing factor, with only slight support from near-normal pressure. Onshore wind was minimal, and there is no king tide today. One of the closest analogs was a Category 3 event on 2026-02-01, but current conditions are less intense, supporting a lower Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Although this is a king tide day, the overall flooding risk remains low. Tide levels are somewhat elevated, but pressure is not unusually low and the wind is weak.
WHEN Greatest high tide influence in the early morning near 4:00–4:06 AM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The king tide provided a small additional bump, but pressure is only slightly below normal and does not amplify the risk significantly. Onshore wind is minimal. One of the top analogs was a Category 3 event on 2024-11-15 during a king tide, but today’s conditions line up as Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No flood concerns are expected again today, with moderate tides and near-normal pressure. Wind is light and not pushing water onshore.
WHEN Peak risk windows early morning around 4:42 AM and evening near 7:18 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The primary driver continues to be the tide, with wind actually providing minimal or slightly negative influence. Pressure is near average, and no king tide is involved. A similar past event on 2025-01-06 reached Category 3, but current conditions favor Category 2.
