Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Moderately high tides combined with slightly below-normal pressure will bring conditions close to a flood event. Although winds are minimal, residents should stay alert given the elevated water levels.
WHEN
Peak concern is during the late evening high tide around 11:54 PM.
IMPACTS
- Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.
REASONING
Tidal height is the main contributor, aided by somewhat lower than normal pressure. Onshore wind has very little effect in this scenario. All ensemble models agree on Category 3, so higher levels are unlikely.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Water levels remain close to flood conditions due to another moderate high tide and below-normal pressure. Winds remain light, but the high tide timing keeps flooding risk in mind.
WHEN
Main time of concern is around midday into early afternoon, especially near 12:54 PM high tide.
IMPACTS
- Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.
REASONING
Higher tide is the strongest factor once again, with continued somewhat low barometric pressure. Wind remains minimal, adding little to overall risk. The ensemble shows a solid agreement at Category 3.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected on this day, as tides remain at routine levels for Redondo Beach. Pressure is near or slightly above normal, and winds, although onshore, are not strong enough to raise concerns.
WHEN
Peak tide occurs midafternoon around 2:18 PM, but is unlikely to cause any issues.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The modest astronomical tide drives a small part of the risk score, and winds provide only a slight onshore push. Normal-to-high pressure also helps keep water levels under control. Ensemble guidance consistently indicates 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.
