Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flood risk is expected today (Category 1). Slightly lower-than-normal pressure is present, but overall conditions remain calm.
WHEN
Peak high tide occurs around midday near 12:30 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Pressure was the only minor factor, while the tide and wind had almost no effect. This is similar to the 2024-03-02 Cat 1 event, though conditions remain well below flood thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Still no flood risk (Category 2). The main contributor is the moderate tide, with slightly below-normal pressure providing additional but minor support.
WHEN
Peak risk is in the early morning around 2:30 AM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate tide and somewhat lower pressure drove the classification, but wind is minimal and actually reduces risk. This resembles the 2023-12-27 Cat 3 event, but our current conditions rate a lower category.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Again no flood threat (Category 2). Moderate tides and slightly below-normal pressure play a role, but winds remain weak and do not contribute much risk.
WHEN
Higher water is expected early morning around 3:06 AM and again in mid-afternoon near 3:18 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate tide is the main factor; pressure is a bit lower than normal while onshore winds are negligible. This set of conditions is somewhat like the 2023-12-27 Cat 3 event, but actual flooding risk remains low here.
