Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
A routine day with no flooding risk. Today’s slightly elevated tide is the main factor, but overall water levels remain well below flood thresholds.
WHEN
Peak water levels are expected in the late evening around 10:06 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate astronomical tide is the primary driver, with pressure near normal and minimal onshore wind. A close historical analog on 2025-01-06 reached Category 3, but today’s conditions are weaker.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Another routine day at Category 1. Despite a normal high tide, conditions remain far below flood levels.
WHEN
Peak water levels will occur in the midmorning around 8:12 AM and again late at night near 11:00 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The tide is at a moderate level, pressure is not significantly low, and onshore wind contributions are negligible. While a past analog from 2023-12-27 was Category 3, this forecast remains well below that threshold.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Slightly higher category than the first two days, but still in the range of no flooding risk. Moderate tide and near-normal pressure lead to a low-likelihood flood scenario.
WHEN
Expect the highest tide in the late morning near 9:24 AM, with another peak late at night around 11:54 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
A moderate tide and slightly lower pressure are the main contributors, while wind remains minimal. Though a similar past day (e.g., 2023-01-06) reached Category 3, current factors are not as strong.
