Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-06-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A Category 2 event is expected, indicating no flooding risk at this time. Moderate tidal levels are the main driver, with near-normal pressure and calm onshore wind keeping conditions routine.

WHEN
Peak water levels will occur in the early morning around 1:30 AM and again in the late afternoon near 4:42 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate astronomical tide was the primary factor, with slightly above normal pressure contributing only a small amount to the total. Onshore wind was minimal and did not increase flood potential. All ensemble models agree on Category 2.


Day 2: 2026-06-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A Category 2 forecast again indicates no flooding risk. The tide is modestly elevated, and slightly below-normal pressure adds a bit, but overall conditions remain routine.

WHEN
Higher water levels will occur early in the morning around 2:12 AM and again later in the day near 5:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide was the main driver, with a small contribution from pressure that is somewhat below normal. Onshore wind influence is limited. Ensemble scenarios remain at Category 2.


Day 3: 2026-06-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Another Category 2 day, indicating no flooding risk. Slightly higher tides are expected, but pressure is near normal and the wind remains light, keeping conditions benign.

WHEN
Peak water levels will arrive during the early morning around 2:54 AM and again in the evening near 6:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The somewhat higher tide is the main factor, though near-normal pressure and minimal wind do not add much flood risk. Forecast models uniformly place this at Category 2, with no higher tail scenario.
