Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
Category 1 indicates no flooding risk. The astronomical tide is the primary driver, but overall water levels remain well below flood thresholds.
WHEN
Peak high tides are expected early morning around 1:18 AM and mid-afternoon around 3:24 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide was the dominant factor, with near-normal atmospheric pressure and minimal onshore wind influence. This is similar to the 2026-03-05 Cat 1 event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 suggests no flood risk, though tide levels are slightly elevated. The tide is again the main contributor, with pressure only modestly lower than on Day 1.
WHEN
Expect peak high tides around 2:36 AM and mid-afternoon near 3:54 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Higher astronomical tide remains the key factor, with near-normal pressure lending only a small additional effect. Onshore wind is minimal, and the ensemble shows no chance of exceeding Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 conditions continue, driven by slightly higher tides than normal. No flooding risk is expected based on the moderate factors in play.
WHEN
Peak high tides will occur in the early morning around 3:42 AM and again late afternoon near 4:24 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The tide remains the main driver, with only slightly below-normal pressure and minimal onshore wind. Ensemble guidance also does not exceed Category 2.
