Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT A routine outlook (Category 2), primarily driven by slightly elevated tide levels. Pressure remains near normal, and onshore wind influence is minimal.
WHEN Peak water levels are expected in the late afternoon to early evening, around 6:18 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The above-normal tide is the dominant factor, with pressure contributing only slightly and onshore wind remaining minimal. Model scenarios agree on Category 2, with no higher-tail risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Another Category 2 day, dominated by moderate tides. Pressure is higher than average, which helps offset additional rise, and winds remain light.
WHEN Highest water levels are expected in the evening, near 6:54 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate tides are the main driver, while above-normal surface pressure and nearly negligible onshore wind keep the overall flood risk low. Ensemble members all support Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Category 2 conditions persist, again due to moderately high tides. High barometric pressure and weak offshore wind help reduce additional risk.
WHEN Peak levels occur in the early evening around 7:30 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Tidal influence is the key factor today, with very high pressure offsetting flood potential. Offshore wind slightly reduces the overall risk. Model consensus reaffirms 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.
