Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
This day is classified as Category 2, indicating no flood risk. Moderate tidal levels and near-normal pressure are the main factors, with minimal wind influence.
WHEN
Highest tides around 4:12 AM and again near 6:30 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The tide was the primary contributor, supported slightly by normal pressure. Onshore wind had a negligible effect, keeping overall risk low. Closest analog events are Cat 1 days, which do not match or exceed the current Category 2 level.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
This forecast shows Category 2, meaning no flood risk despite a slightly higher tide and somewhat lower pressure. Conditions remain stable enough that flooding is unlikely.
WHEN
Peak water levels near 5:12 AM and around 7:00 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate tide is the primary driver, with slight support from below-normal pressure. Ensemble guidance leans toward Category 3, but the deterministic classification remains at 2. Historical analogs include the 2023-12-27 event at Category 3, which exceeds today’s assigned category.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Category 2, with no flood risk expected. Moderate tides and slightly below-normal pressure do not pose a significant threat.
WHEN
Highest tides around 6:06 AM and near 7:30 PM.
IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Tide remains the main factor, with only minor influence from below-normal pressure. An analog day (2023-12-27) reached Category 3, but conditions here are below that threshold.
