Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
A routine day with tides near normal and very mild onshore wind. Category 1 indicates no flood risk under these conditions.
WHEN
Peak high tides will occur around midnight and again around midday (near 12:30 PM).
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The tide factor is slightly elevated relative to a baseline, and pressure contributes a little, but wind is minimal. This is similar to the 2021-07-02 Cat 1 event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 indicates no flood risk, though slightly lower pressure than normal is present. Tidal levels remain fairly typical.
WHEN
Peak high tides occur in the early morning around 1:24 AM and again in the early afternoon near 2:06 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Regular tide remains the primary factor, with an additional nudge from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind is minimal, and all models agree on Category 2 with no tail risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2 again indicates no flood risk. Pressure remains slightly below typical values, and wind is modestly onshore but not strong enough to raise flood concerns.
WHEN
Peak high tides occur in the early morning around 2:00 AM and mid-afternoon near 3:30 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
A moderate tide and somewhat below-normal pressure are the main contributors to the Category 2 rating, while wind adds only a small effect. Ensemble forecasts are unanimous at Category 2.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
