Category 3 · ELEVATED FLOOD RISK

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-06-20

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Flood risk is close to developing, primarily due to moderately high tides with slight support from lower-than-normal pressure. Conditions are not severe, but minor flooding along the immediate shoreline is possible.

WHEN Peak concern during the morning high tide around 9:24 AM and again late at night around 11:00 PM.

IMPACTS • Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.

REASONING Tide level was the main driver, with a small additional effect from slightly below normal pressure. Onshore wind did not contribute much. This forecast is similar to the 2023-01-06 Cat 3 event.

Day 2: 2026-06-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No flooding risk is expected. The classifier indicates this day remains in the “no risk” range despite typical tidal fluctuations.

WHEN Highest tides fall late morning around 10:48 AM and again at night around 11:42 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tidal levels combined with near-normal pressure and minimal onshore wind keep conditions below flood thresholds.

Day 3: 2026-06-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Similar to the previous day, conditions do not suggest a flood threat. Tides are modest, and other factors remain subdued.

WHEN Primary high tides occur shortly after midnight around 12:00 AM and midday near 12:24 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tides and near-normal pressure are the main factors, but they are not high enough to cause any flooding. Onshore wind remains negligible.
