Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT A routine situation with no flooding risk expected. The tide is the main factor raising water levels slightly, but overall conditions remain benign.
WHEN Peak water levels are expected early morning around 4:24 AM and again in the evening near 6:06 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Elevated tide levels are the primary driver, with pressure near normal and almost no onshore wind influence. Although the closest past analog (2025-01-06) was a Category 3 event, conditions this time are milder and do not indicate flood concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No flooding risk anticipated. Again, regular high tide is the main contributor under generally calm conditions.
WHEN Highest tide levels are expected around 4:48 AM and again near 6:48 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate tide levels and slightly lower-than-normal pressure produce a slight increase in water level, but the wind is minimal. While a similar past analog date (2023-12-27) saw Category 3 conditions, today remains at a lower risk level.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No flooding risk. Normal tide and near-normal pressure keep conditions quiet.
WHEN Peak water levels will occur in the early morning around 5:12 AM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Minor tide influence is balanced by overall normal atmospheric pressure, with offshore wind effects remaining minimal. The most similar past analog event (2023-12-27) reached Category 3, but current driving factors are weaker.
