Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-05-07

CATEGORY 1

WHAT A Category 1 (“no risk”) day. Slightly elevated tides should remain well below flood thresholds, and conditions look routine.

WHEN Highest tides are expected in the early morning around 8:00 AM and late evening near 11:00 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide was the primary factor, contributing only a small amount, with near-normal pressure and negligible onshore wind. The classifier also found a similar past date (2025-01-06 Cat 3), although that event was a higher category.

Day 2: 2026-05-08

CATEGORY 1

WHAT Again a Category 1 (“no risk”) day with moderate tides and overall calm conditions. No flooding concerns are expected.

WHEN Peak tides will occur in the morning around 9:00 AM and late at night near midnight (11:54 PM).

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Today’s relatively normal tide and pressure produce a minimal overall score. Wind was not a significant factor. A previous day (2026-02-01) with similar factors was classified as Cat 3, which exceeded this forecast category.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
