Redondo Beach, WA
Category 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected on Monday, with moderate high tide and near-normal pressure leading to a routine outlook. Winds are minimal and do not significantly contribute to water levels.
WHEN
Peak tides around 7:36 AM and again near 7:42 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate tide was the primary factor, with a small boost from near-normal pressure. Onshore wind contributed very little.
Category 3
WHAT
Conditions will be close to flood thresholds on Tuesday due to a moderately high tide and slightly below-normal pressure. Minor inundation is possible along immediate shoreline areas.
WHEN
Key high tides are around 8:30 AM and especially near 8:12 PM.
IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.
• Worth monitoring, especially around high tide peaks.
REASONING
The moderate tide combined with lower-than-average pressure drove the category. Wind effects are negligible, but these water levels still merit caution.
Category 3
WHAT
Another day of near-flood conditions on Wednesday, propelled by a moderately high tide and below-normal pressure. Foot traffic and shoreline activities should be aware of possible minor flooding near dusk.
WHEN
Highest tides expected around 9:36 AM and 8:48 PM.
IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at the immediate shore.
• Stay alert if planning coastal activities late in the day.
REASONING
The tide is once again the main driver, with modest support from slightly below-normal pressure. This setup is similar to the 2023-01-06 Cat 3 event, reinforcing that conditions could briefly reach minor flood levels.
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.
