Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-05-08

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
A routine day with no flooding expected. Slightly elevated tide is the main factor, but conditions remain well below flood thresholds.

WHEN
Peak water levels around 9:06 AM and again late at night near 11:54 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate astronomical tide is providing the primary influence, while pressure sits near normal and onshore wind is negligible. Although a similar past day (2026-02-01) reached Category 3, current factors are too weak to approach flood risk, keeping it at Category 1.


Day 2: 2026-05-09

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No flooding risk anticipated. Tides remain normal, with stable atmospheric pressure and minimal wind.

WHEN
Slightly higher tides around midnight (12:00 AM) and late morning near 10:24 AM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A routine tide height and near-average pressure drive the forecast. Onshore wind is again low. While past analog days (such as 2026-02-01 at Category 3) had stronger contributing factors, current conditions remain quiet at Category 1.


Day 3: 2026-05-10

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
Continued low flood risk with modest tidal conditions. Pressure is a bit lower than on previous days but still not low enough to pose a concern.

WHEN
Highest levels in the very early morning around 12:42 AM and near midday around 11:48 AM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide remains modest, with slightly below-normal pressure contributing mildly, and wind having almost no effect. Although one of the closest analogs (2023-12-27) was a Category 3, current tides and pressures remain weaker, so the forecast stays at Category 1.
