Redondo Beach, WA
Category 1
WHAT
A routine day with no flood risk. Slightly lower-pressure conditions are the primary factor, but overall levels remain well below any flooding threshold.
WHEN
Peak water levels around midday, near 12:30 PM.
IMPACTS
No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Pressure was the only factor contributing to the score, but it remains near typical values. Onshore wind and tides were not significant. This is similar to the 2024-03-02 Cat 1 event.
Category 2
WHAT
Still no significant flooding risk. A modestly higher tide and slightly below-normal pressure are present, but not enough to create flood concerns.
WHEN
Main high tide overnight, around 2:30 AM.
IMPACTS
No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide was the most notable influence, with minor contribution from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind offered little effect. Conditions resemble the 2023-12-27 Cat 3 event in some ways, but the factors here are weaker overall, resulting in Category 2.
Category 2
WHAT
Moderate tides and slightly lower pressure continue, keeping the forecast in a low-level category with no flooding expected.
WHEN
Peak water levels early morning near 3:06 AM and again mid-afternoon around 3:18 PM.
IMPACTS
No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Elevated tide was the main contributor, alongside modestly reduced pressure. Wind remained minimal. This day also shares some similarities with the 2023-12-27 Cat 3 event, though overall factors are less intense.
