Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 indicates no flood risk for Tuesday. The slightly above-normal tide is the primary driver, with near-normal atmospheric pressure and minimal wind influence.
WHEN
Highest water levels expected in the evening, near 9:12 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tidal height was the main factor, though it was not extremely high. Pressure was near normal, and wind had virtually no onshore component. One of the closest historical analogs was a Cat 3 event on 2025-01-06, so conditions this time are less severe.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Category 1 represents routine conditions with no flood risk. Tides are slightly lower than the previous day, and wind is not contributing to any surge.
WHEN
Highest water levels expected around 10:06 PM, with a lesser high tide in the early morning near 7:06 AM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tide and near-normal pressure keep the overall risk very low. Wind offers minimal effect. Although one of the closest analogs was a Cat 3 on 2025-01-06, conditions now remain well below that threshold.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Category 1 suggests another day of typical tides and no flood risk. Prevailing conditions remain calm, with only routine tidal variation.
WHEN
Highest water levels expected late in the evening, near 11:00 PM, with a secondary peak around 8:12 AM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The tide is once again modest, with pressure near normal and little onshore wind. A comparable historical pattern was the Cat 3 event on 2025-01-06, but today’s conditions remain lower in overall impact.
