Redondo Beach, WA
Category 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected under these conditions, with a moderate tidal influence being the primary factor. Pressure remains relatively normal, and winds are minimal.
WHEN
Higher water levels may occur early morning around 3:36 AM and again in the afternoon near 4:24 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate tide is driving today’s Category 2 forecast, while near-normal pressure and negligible onshore wind do not elevate risk. One historically similar day was 2025-01-06, which was classified as Category 3 but had different specifics at the time.
Category 2
WHAT
Again, no flooding is expected. Tidal effects remain moderate, with pressure above the threshold for concern and essentially no wind contribution.
WHEN
Peak water levels are most likely in the early morning around 4:00 AM and late afternoon near 5:18 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
A routine tidal cycle is the main driver for Category 2. Pressure is a bit higher than normal, minimizing any additional influence, and wind remains too light to matter. One historically similar day was 2025-01-06, a Category 3 event under different conditions.
Category 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected, as moderate tides and normal pressure keep conditions calm. Winds remain light, providing little additional risk.
WHEN
Expect higher water in the early morning around 4:24 AM and again in the evening near 6:06 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tidal levels remain the dominant influence. Pressure is near normal, and the onshore wind is minimal. A past day with somewhat similar conditions was 2025-01-06 (Category 3), but the setup then differed enough to push it higher.
