Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 conditions indicate no flooding risk. A slightly elevated tide and near-normal pressure are expected to keep water levels below flood thresholds.
WHEN
Peak water levels around 5:24 AM and again near 6:06 PM. No significant issues anticipated at these times.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The tide factor is the main influence, with near-normal pressure and minimal wind contribution. One analog day, 2026-01-06, reached Category 3 under stronger wind conditions, but today remains at Category 2 with no concerns for flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Expect another day of routine conditions with slightly elevated tides. Pressure is somewhat lower but still not enough to pose a flood risk.
WHEN
High tides occur around 6:12 AM and 6:36 PM. No flooding is expected at those times.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide remains the primary factor, with a minor effect from slightly below-normal pressure. Winds stay minimal. An analog day, 2026-01-06, resulted in Category 3, but it had more impactful wind; today stays at Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flood risk again, as moderately elevated tides and somewhat low pressure remain well below the threshold for any inundation.
WHEN
Highest tides occur near 7:06 AM and around 7:00 PM. Conditions remain benign.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The tide factor and slightly below-normal pressure drive conditions but are not intense enough for flooding. A similar past day, 2023-01-06, was Category 3 due to higher winds, whereas today’s winds and pressure keep it at Category 2.
