Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 indicates no flood risk. A moderate high tide is the primary driver, with near-normal pressure and minimal wind influence keeping water levels below flooding thresholds.
WHEN
Peak water levels around 2:42 AM and 5:42 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide was the main factor raising overall water levels, but it remains moderate. Pressure is slightly above normal, and onshore wind is minimal, so the total risk stays low.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Category 3 suggests conditions are close to flood stage, primarily due to a higher-than-normal tide and a king tide bump. Pressure is near normal, and wind remains minimal.
WHEN
Peak risk overnight near 3:24 AM and early evening around 6:30 PM.
IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
REASONING
High tide and the added king tide bump were the main contributors. Pressure is near normal, with light winds. This is similar to the 2024-11-15 Cat 3 event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT
Category 3 again indicates near-flood conditions, driven by a strong high tide combined with a king tide. Pressure remains somewhat normal, and wind is not a significant factor.
WHEN
Peak risk in the early morning near 4:12 AM and again in the evening around 7:18 PM.
IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
REASONING
A higher astronomical tide and king tide were the dominant factors, with near-normal pressure. Wind did not contribute significantly. This is similar to the 2024-11-15 Cat 3 event.
