Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-06-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 means no notable flooding is expected. The primary driver is a moderately high tide, with limited influence from slightly lower-than-average pressure and very light onshore wind negating some of the surge.

WHEN
Peak tides will occur around 12:18 AM and 2:06 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the main factor raising flood potential a bit, with only a small boost from pressure. Onshore wind was minimal and did not contribute to additional risk. All model members agree on Category 2, so there is no significant uncertainty to report.

Day 2: 2026-06-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Again, no significant flooding concerns. This rating is driven mostly by tide, with slightly below-normal pressure providing only minor support.

WHEN
Peak tides will occur near 1:00 AM and 3:36 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A regular high tide is the main contributor, while the moderately low pressure adds a small amount. Light wind from the northwest direction remains insufficient to create extra storm surge. The ensemble is unanimous at Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-06-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding impacts are expected. The tide remains moderate, and below-normal pressure continues to offer small upward influence, with a modest onshore wind.

WHEN
Peak tides are around 1:36 AM and 4:42 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide is the primary factor, complemented by slightly lower pressure. The onshore wind is modest but not enough to push conditions beyond Category 2. Model consensus is firm at Category 2, leaving little uncertainty.
