Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-05-27

Category 2

WHAT No flooding risk is expected on Wednesday. The moderate astronomical tide is the main factor, with a slight boost from normal pressure patterns.

WHEN Peak high tides occur in the early morning around 2:36 AM and again in the afternoon around 4:36 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide is the primary contributor to the category, coupled with a small effect from pressure. Wind and high-tide flooding likelihood had negligible influence on the forecast.

Day 2: 2026-05-28

Category 2

WHAT Thursday also shows no flooding risk, influenced by moderate tides and slightly below-normal pressure. Onshore wind is minimal and does not raise concern.

WHEN Highest tides arrive early in the morning near 3:06 AM, then again later in the afternoon around 5:30 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tidal levels continue to drive the category, with mild pressure effects. Wind remains too weak to contribute significantly to flood risk, and high-tide flooding likelihood is effectively zero.

Day 3: 2026-05-29

Category 2

WHAT Friday maintains the same no-flood-risk outlook due to moderate tide levels and slightly below-normal pressure. Light onshore wind does not appear strong enough to pose a flooding threat.

WHEN Peak tide times come in the evening around 6:18 PM, matching the day’s relatively benign weather profile.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tides mixed with modest pressure effects are the primary drivers of the category. Wind barely contributes, and high-tide flooding probability is near zero.
