Category 3 · ELEVATED FLOOD RISK

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-06-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A routine high tide is expected, with no flooding risk. The primary factor is the tide, aided slightly by normal pressure.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected around 2:00 AM and again near 4:42 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the main contributor, while atmospheric pressure was near normal and wind was minimal. High tide flood conditions remain unlikely.

Day 2: 2026-06-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Continued routine conditions with a slightly higher tide than the previous day. Pressure remains steady, and onshore wind is very weak.

WHEN
Expect highest water levels around 2:42 AM and 5:42 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Similar to the previous day, the tide is again the main factor. Pressure is near normal, and wind provides negligible effect, so flood risk stays low.

Day 3: 2026-06-14

CATEGORY 3

WHAT
King tide conditions could bring water levels close to flood thresholds, worth monitoring. Pressure is still near normal, but the added king tide bump slightly raises water levels.

WHEN
Peak water levels in the early morning around 3:24 AM and again late afternoon near 6:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at immediate shoreline.

REASONING
The king tide and moderately high astronomical tide were the main drivers. Pressure is close to normal, and wind remains light. This is similar to the 2024-11-15 Cat 3 event.
