Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 indicates no significant flooding concerns expected today. Moderate tidal levels are the primary factor, with very minor contributions from pressure and negligible wind effect.
WHEN
Peak water levels around the early morning high tide near 6:06 AM and again in the evening around 8:18 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impacts anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tide was the main contributor to this Category 2 classification, with slight support from pressure, and wind having minimal influence. One of the top analogs, 2026-01-05, was a Category 3 event, but conditions then were more intense than today’s. Ensemble members agree on Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Another Category 2 day, indicating no expected flooding issues. Tidal levels remain moderate, and the onshore wind and pressure effects are minimal.
WHEN
Higher water stands in the morning around 7:06 AM and again in the evening near 8:54 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impacts anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tide remains the key driver, with slight influence from near-normal pressure and almost no wind contribution. A past analog for this date (2026-01-05) reached Category 3, but the additional factors on that day were stronger. All ensemble members align with Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 persists, suggesting no risk of coastal flooding. Tides are again moderate, with normal-to-slightly higher pressure limiting any surge effect.
WHEN
Peak water levels near 8:06 AM and again around 9:30 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impacts anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tidal heights are the biggest factor. Pressure is slightly above normal, and wind remains minimal. No higher-end ensemble scenarios appear; the forecasts consistently indicate 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.
