Category 3 · ELEVATED FLOOD RISK

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-06-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Category 2 indicates no flood risk. A slightly higher than normal tide is expected, but conditions remain routine overall.

WHEN Peak tide in the late morning around 10:00 AM and another late-night peak near 11:36 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide was the primary contributor, but it remains well below flood thresholds. Pressure added a small boost, and onshore wind was negligible.

Day 2: 2026-06-08

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Category 3 means conditions are close to flood stage and worth monitoring. Moderate tide combined with below-normal pressure raises water levels slightly.

WHEN Highest tide expected around late morning near 11:18 AM and again late at night near 11:54 PM.

IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.

REASONING The moderate tide is the main driver, and lower-than-usual pressure is providing additional lift. Wind appears to slightly reduce overall water levels, but not enough to offset the tide and pressure combination.

Day 3: 2026-06-09

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Category 3 again indicates conditions are near flood thresholds. Elevated tide with somewhat low pressure may push water levels close to the shoreline.

WHEN Watch for peaks after midnight around 12:12 AM and again near 12:54 PM.

IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.

REASONING The moderate tide is the biggest factor, with below-normal pressure giving a further push. Onshore wind is reducing the overall effect slightly, but levels remain near the threshold for minor flooding.
