Category 3 · ELEVATED FLOOD RISK

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-06-20

Category 3

WHAT
There is a close-to-flood-condition setup chiefly driven by moderately high tidal levels. Pressure is near normal, and onshore winds are minimal, but the elevated tide makes this day worth monitoring.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected mid-morning around 9:24 AM and again late at night near 11:00 PM.

IMPACTS
• Minor inundation possible at the immediate shoreline.

REASONING
The tide is the main factor pushing conditions close to flood levels, with a small contribution from slightly low pressure. Onshore wind does not add much in this scenario, so the elevated tide is the primary concern.

Day 2: 2026-06-21

Category 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is anticipated for Sunday. Tidal effects remain moderate, while pressure is near normal and winds are light.

WHEN
Highest tides will occur around 10:48 AM and again near 11:42 PM, but are not expected to cause issues.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Slightly elevated tides and modest pressure keep conditions below flood thresholds. The onshore wind contribution is minimal, so overall risk remains low.

Day 3: 2026-06-22

Category 2

WHAT
No flooding risk continues into Monday. While tides are moderately high, pressure stays near normal, and wind remains low.

WHEN
Peak water levels around midnight (12:00 AM) and midday near 12:24 PM. Neither is expected to reach flood conditions.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Slightly above-average tides are the main factor, but neither pressure nor wind is contributing enough to elevate risk. Conditions will remain below flood thresholds.
