Redondo Beach, WA
Category 2
WHAT Today is classified as Category 2, indicating no significant flood risk. The moderate tide and slightly below-normal pressure levels will not likely cause any shoreline issues.
WHEN Peak water levels are expected in the evening, around 8:06 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate tidal conditions are the primary factor, with minor support from slightly below-normal pressure. Onshore wind contribution is negligible. The closest analog date was 2023-12-27 (a Cat 3 event), but conditions now are producing a lower Category 2.
Category 2
WHAT Another Category 2 day with routine tidal levels and mildly below-normal pressure. Conditions will remain quiet along the shoreline.
WHEN High tides will occur in the early morning around 6:12 AM and again in the evening near 8:42 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate tidal influence and slightly lower pressure remain the main factors. Wind effects are minimal. Analog dates (e.g., 2023-12-27 Cat 3) show similar patterns but with higher overall impact than expected today.
Category 2
WHAT Category 2 persists, reflecting low flood risk with normal tides and near-normal pressure. Conditions are expected to remain stable.
WHEN Peak water levels around 6:42 AM and again near 9:24 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate, routine tides are the principal factor, with slightly below-normal pressure offering limited additional concern. Onshore wind effects are not significant. A notable analog is 2023-01-06 (Cat 3), but current drivers fall short of those conditions.
