Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-06-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No flooding is expected, as the tides are at routine levels for this date. Slightly above-normal pressure also helps keep water levels in check.

WHEN Peak water levels are anticipated around midnight near 12:00 AM and midday near 12:24 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tidal influence was the primary factor, with a small positive effect from slightly above-normal pressure. Onshore wind influence was minimal, keeping the risk low. All ensemble models agree on Category 2, with no higher-tail scenario.

Day 2: 2026-06-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Again, conditions remain benign. Tidal levels remain moderate, and pressure is not low enough to cause concern.

WHEN Peak water levels around 12:18 AM and again early afternoon near 2:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The normal tide was the main factor, with pressure offering only a slight added effect. A small offshore wind component reduces water buildup along the shoreline. The ensemble consensus remains at Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-06-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A continuation of routine conditions. Tidal heights and moderate pressure combine to keep water levels in a safe range.

WHEN Highest levels near 1:00 AM and again mid-afternoon around 3:36 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide is somewhat elevated, but pressure is close to normal and wind remains minimal. As before, all forecasts consistently indicate Category 2 with no higher-tail scenario.
