Redondo Beach, WA
Category 2
WHAT A Category 2 forecast indicates no flooding risk today. The slightly elevated tide is the primary contributor, with near-to-above-normal pressure helping keep conditions benign. Onshore wind is minimal.
WHEN Expect the highest water levels near 6:00 AM and again around 5:54 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Tide was the biggest factor, while the relatively normal-to-high barometric pressure moderated the risk. The onshore wind was light and did not add to water levels. All ensemble members agree on Category 2, so there is no higher-tail scenario.
Category 2
WHAT Again, Category 2 means no flooding risk. Conditions are similar to the previous day, with a modestly elevated tide but otherwise normal weather influences.
WHEN Peak tide levels around 6:48 AM and again near 6:18 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The tide is the main contributing factor, supported to a small degree by slightly below-normal pressure; wind remains minimal. The ensemble is unanimous at Category 2. One of the more similar historical dates (2026-02-01) was a Cat 3, but present conditions are not expected to reach that level.
Category 2
WHAT Category 2 continues with no flooding risk. Tides are moderately high, but below typical flood thresholds, and pressure is not significantly low.
WHEN Highest water stands around 7:42 AM and 6:48 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The tides contribute most of the signal, with slightly lower-than-usual pressure adding a small boost and moderate onshore wind offering a slight additional factor. The ensemble does not show any higher tail scenario, so Category 2 is firm.
