Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT This is a Category 2 event, driven mostly by a moderately high astronomical tide and nearly normal pressure. Onshore winds are minimal, and overall conditions are not expected to reach flood thresholds.
WHEN Peak water levels will occur in the afternoon, near 3:24 PM high tide.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Today’s classification is Category 2 mostly due to the moderate tide; pressure is near normal, and wind contribution is negligible. No king tide is in effect.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT A Category 2 forecast, again largely influenced by the moderate tide. Normal-to-slightly-higher pressure and a modest onshore breeze do not appear sufficient to trigger flooding concerns.
WHEN Highest tide occurs in the late afternoon around 4:12 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The forecast remains at Category 2 because the tide is somewhat elevated but not near flood levels. Pressure is around normal, and wind provides little additional influence. No king tide is indicated.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Still at Category 2, with the tide slightly higher than previous days but offset by above-normal pressure and a weak onshore wind. Flood risk remains low overall.
WHEN Peak levels will occur late afternoon, near 4:48 PM high tide.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The category remains 2 because the slightly higher tide is not enough to produce flood conditions. Pressure is a bit above average, and winds add little. King tide conditions are not present.
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.
