Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
A low-level flood category is expected due to a moderate tidal height and near-normal barometric pressure. Overall flooding risk is minimal.
WHEN
Peak water levels in mid-afternoon, around 2:42 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate tide was the main factor, with a small positive contribution from near-normal pressure. Light onshore wind slightly reduced the overall risk. This is similar to the 2025-05-23 Cat 1 event.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Conditions remain in the low flood category, driven mostly by a routine tide. Pressure is slightly higher than the previous day, further reducing any weather-based risks.
WHEN
Highest tide in the mid-afternoon, around 3:24 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The regular tide is again the primary influence, with minimal onshore wind and near-normal to slightly higher pressure. This matches the 2026-09-26 Cat 1 event in past records.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
There is still no real risk of flooding, but tidal levels will be a bit higher than on previous days. Overall conditions remain below any flood thresholds.
WHEN
Peak water levels in the mid-afternoon around 3:54 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
