Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-05-06

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected today. Tides are moderate, and the overall conditions remain benign for flood formation.

WHEN
Peak tide levels will occur around 7:24 AM and again near 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide was the main driver behind the classification, with near-normal pressure and minimal onshore wind providing little additional influence. A past day with somewhat similar conditions (2026-02-01) reached Category 3, but the forecast for today is only Category 1.

Day 2: 2026-05-07

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected again. A routine high tide will occur, but all indications remain well below flood thresholds.

WHEN
Highest tide points occur around 8:06 AM and again near 11:06 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A moderate tide and slightly lower pressure led to a small potential, but onshore wind influence is minimal. One of the closest analogs, 2023-12-27, had Category 3 conditions, yet the classification here is a much lower Category 1.

Day 3: 2026-05-08

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No flooding concerns on this day. Tides are noticeably lower, and readings do not suggest any significant rise.

WHEN
Peak tide arrives midmorning around 9:06 AM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Pressure is the primary contributor, though still near normal. Tidal levels are modest compared to typical flood benchmarks, and wind is negligible. Analog dates show higher categories under stronger or more extreme conditions.
