Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A routine day with Category 2 conditions, driven mainly by a moderate high tide. Slightly below normal pressure provides minor added influence, and wind is negligible.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected in the late evening around 9:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide was the main contributor to this Category 2 rating, with a small boost from slightly below normal pressure. Onshore wind contributed very little, and ensemble models show no higher-tail scenario.

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 again, primarily from a moderate tide. Normal pressure and minimal onshore wind keep conditions benign.

WHEN

WHEN
