Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Category 2 indicates no significant flooding risk. The primary driver is a moderately high tide, with minimal help from near-average pressure and a negligible onshore wind component.
WHEN Peak levels are expected around the late afternoon high tide near 4:48 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING The tide contributed most to today’s classification, with a slight boost from near-average pressure; onshore wind reduced the overall risk. Model agreement is unanimous at Category 2, so there’s no indication of higher-end uncertainty.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No notable flood risk again, with moderate tides and slightly below-normal pressure as the main contributors. Winds are light and do not add significant risk.
WHEN Peak water levels will occur around the late afternoon high tide near 5:06 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate astronomical tides and somewhat lower pressure pushed today’s rating to Category 2, but onshore wind was negligible. All model outputs agree on Category 2, so there is no further uncertainty to highlight.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Another routine day with no flood threat. Tides remain moderately high, but the barometric pressure is near or slightly above normal, and winds are minimal.
WHEN Highest tides come in the early morning around 5:12 AM and again in the late afternoon near 5:30 PM.
IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
REASONING A moderate tidal factor is the primary influence. Pressure is normal to slightly elevated, and winds are light. Ensemble runs consistently show Category 2, with no tails reaching higher levels.
