Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-05-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A routine tidal cycle with no flood threat expected. Tides are mildly elevated, and slightly below-normal pressure adds a modest influence, but overall conditions remain benign.

WHEN Peak water levels will occur in the early morning around 3:06 AM and again in the late afternoon near 5:30 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tidal height is the primary contributor, with a small boost from the slightly low pressure. Onshore wind influence is minimal. All ensemble members agree on Category 2, indicating no flood risk.

Day 2: 2026-05-29

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No risk of flooding as routine tides and near-normal pressure dominate. Winds are relatively light, reducing any additional water push onshore.

WHEN Higher tides will occur around mid-evening, near 6:00 PM, but conditions remain stable throughout the day.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tidal levels driven by typical astronomical conditions set the category at 2. Pressure is fairly normal, and onshore wind is not significant enough to raise flood concerns.

Day 3: 2026-05-30

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Continued quiet weather pattern with regular high tide levels. Pressure is on the higher side, further lessening any flood threat.

WHEN High water is expected in the pre-dawn hours near 4:00 AM and again early in the evening around 6:54 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Once again, the tide factor is modest, and pressure remains slightly above average. Winds remain light, offering little contribution to flooding. The ensemble unanimously supports a low-risk Category 2.
