Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Flooding is not expected. Moderate astronomical tide is the primary driver, with near-normal pressure and minimal onshore wind.

WHEN
Highest tides will occur around 6:12 AM and again near 6:36 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
This Category 2 forecast is mainly due to moderate tidal levels, with slight contribution from pressure. One close analog, 2023-01-06, was a Cat 3 event, but it had higher overall conditions than those expected today.

Day 2: 2026-09-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Flooding is not expected. Astronomical tide remains moderate, and pressure is near normal, with only minimal onshore wind influence.

WHEN
Peak tides occur around 7:06 AM and 7:00 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Category 2 resulted mostly from moderate tide levels and slightly above-normal pressure. A similar past event, 2026-02-01, reached Cat 3, but conditions that day were somewhat stronger than what is forecast here.

Day 3: 2026-09-14

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk. Tides are still modest, and relatively higher atmospheric pressure further reduces any flood concern.

WHEN
Highest tides will occur around 8:00 AM and near 7:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
This Category 2 forecast is driven by normal-to-moderate tides, above-normal pressure, and very light onshore wind. There are no closer analogs that match or exceed the current forecast category.
