Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Category 2 conditions with a routine high tide as the main driver. No significant flooding concerns are expected.
WHEN Peak high tides around 2:00 AM and 4:42 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate astronomical tide is the primary factor, with near-normal pressure and negligible wind influence. These conditions do not align with any higher-category analog, so no significant flood risk is expected today.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Category 2 conditions persist, driven mostly by another routine high tide. Flooding is not expected.
WHEN Peak high tides around 2:42 AM and 5:42 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING A moderate tide remains the main contributor, and the slightly offshore wind further reduces flood potential. Atmospheric pressure is near typical levels, keeping conditions benign.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Category 3 conditions, driven by a king tide combined with the ordinary high tide, bring water levels close to flood conditions.
WHEN Peak risk near 3:24 AM and again around 6:30 PM.
IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
REASONING A high astronomical tide plus an added king tide bump is the leading factor. Pressure is near normal, and wind influence is minimal. This setup is similar to the 2024-11-15 Cat 3 king tide event.
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.
