Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Category 2 indicates no flood risk. A slightly higher than normal tide is expected, but conditions remain routine overall.
WHEN Peak tide in the late morning around 10:00 AM and another late-night peak near 11:36 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The tide was the primary contributor, but it remains well below flood thresholds. Pressure added a small boost, and onshore wind was negligible.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Category 3 means conditions are close to flood stage and worth monitoring. Moderate tide combined with below-normal pressure raises water levels slightly.
WHEN Highest tide expected around late morning near 11:18 AM and again late at night near 11:54 PM.
IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.
REASONING The moderate tide is the main driver, and lower-than-usual pressure is providing additional lift. Wind appears to slightly reduce overall water levels, but not enough to offset the tide and pressure combination.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Category 3 again indicates conditions are near flood thresholds. Elevated tide with somewhat low pressure may push water levels close to the shoreline.
WHEN Watch for peaks after midnight around 12:12 AM and again near 12:54 PM.
IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.
REASONING The moderate tide is the biggest factor, with below-normal pressure giving a further push. Onshore wind is reducing the overall effect slightly, but levels remain near the threshold for minor flooding.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
