Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-05-07

Category 1

WHAT No flood risk is expected today (Category 1). A moderate high tide and near-normal pressure will keep water levels well below concern.

WHEN Peak high tides are expected in the morning around 8:06 AM and again late at night near 11:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The moderate astronomical tide is the main contributor, with slightly above-average pressure and minimal onshore wind playing lesser roles. Similar past dates were categorized higher (Cat 3), but today’s conditions remain well below those thresholds.

Day 2: 2026-05-08

Category 1

WHAT Another day at Category 1, with no flood risk indicated. Moderate tide levels and stable atmospheric pressure will keep conditions routine.

WHEN High tides occur around 9:06 AM and late at night near 11:54 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Similar factors to the previous day: the tide remains moderate, pressure stays near normal, and wind influence is minimal. Although a past analog date was classified as Cat 3, conditions for today fall short of any flood concern.
