Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Category 2 conditions expected, driven mostly by a moderately high tide and slightly lower-than-normal pressure. Onshore wind is minimal for this day.
WHEN Peak water levels in the early morning around 7:42 AM and again in the early evening near 6:48 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The main driver for this Category 2 classification is the tidal height. Pressure is mildly supportive of higher water, while onshore wind has little effect. All models agree on Category 2 with no higher tail scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Still a Category 2 day, primarily influenced by the moderate tide. Pressure is near average, and wind slightly reduces onshore effects.
WHEN High tide risk windows around 8:36 AM and again near 7:24 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Tide remains the main factor, with near-average pressure offering a slight positive influence. Wind is minimally offsetting. No ensemble spread above Category 2.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT A routine day with no flooding risk, thanks to a relatively lower tidal range and stable atmospheric conditions.
WHEN High tides around 9:36 AM and 8:06 PM, but neither is expected to cause issues.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Tide is on the lower side compared to previous days, and pressure plus light wind have minimal influence. This day is similar to 2025-09-12, which was also a Category 1 event. Forecast models consistently show Category 1 for this date.
