Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT A Category 3 event is expected, primarily driven by the relatively high tide and somewhat below-normal pressure. Conditions will be near flood thresholds, so minor flooding along the immediate shoreline is possible.
WHEN Peak risk around 11:18 AM and again later near 11:54 PM during the high tides.
IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
REASONING Tidal influence was the main driver in this forecast, with additional moderate support from lower-than-usual pressure. Onshore wind is minimal and not expected to substantially elevate water levels.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Another Category 3 day, again dominated by a higher-than-average tide in combination with slightly low pressure. The shoreline could see water encroachment near high tide periods.
WHEN Peak risk near 12:12 AM and 12:54 PM, aligning with each day’s tidal maxima.
IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
REASONING Similar to the previous day, the tide remains the largest influence, with continued moderate contribution from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind remains minimal in this scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Conditions return to Category 2, which indicates no significant flooding risk. Despite moderate onshore winds, the overall setup is unlikely to cause spillover.
WHEN Highest tides are around 12:48 AM and 2:18 PM, but these are not expected to reach disruptive levels.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate tide levels and near-normal pressure contributed to a lower flood risk today, and although onshore winds are slightly stronger, they do not push conditions beyond Category 2.
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.
