Category 1 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-05-22

CATEGORY 1

WHAT Category 1 indicates no flooding risk. Tides are routine, and pressure is slightly below normal but not low enough to pose a concern.

WHEN Peak water levels around 11:54 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The moderate high tide and near-normal pressure are the main drivers, while onshore wind is minimal. Conditions resemble previous Category 1 events, such as on 2026-05-04, so no flooding is expected.

Day 2: 2026-05-23

CATEGORY 1

WHAT Category 1 again indicates no flooding risk. Tides remain similar to the previous day, and pressure is still only slightly below normal.

WHEN Peak tide near midnight around 12:00 AM, with another moderate high tide late morning.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Routine tide and near-normal pressure are the key factors, and onshore wind remains minimal. Analog days with similar conditions (for example, 2026-05-04) also produced Category 1 outcomes.

Day 3: 2026-05-24

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No flooding is expected with this Category 1 forecast. Tides are modest, and pressure is closer to normal than on previous days.

WHEN Highest tide shortly after midnight around 12:42 AM, with lower midday tide.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING A slightly lower tide level and normal pressure lead to a routine scenario. Minimal onshore wind further reduces any flood risk. This day is similar to 2021-07-02, a prior Category 1 event.
