Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-01

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A routine day with no flooding risk. Moderate tidal levels and near-normal atmospheric pressure are keeping conditions calm.

WHEN
Highest water levels are expected around 5:24 AM and again near 8:12 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate astronomical tide is the main factor, slightly offset by near-normal pressure. Wind contributions are minimal, and no king tide is in effect. All ensemble models concur that there is no higher risk for this date.


Day 2: 2026-07-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Again, no flooding risk is indicated. Tides remain moderate, with slightly lower pressure than day one, but onshore winds stay light.

WHEN
Highest water levels are expected around 6:06 AM and then near 8:36 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide is still the main driver, while the small dip in pressure does not bring enough extra concern. Winds contribute very little, and there is no king tide. The forecast ensemble shows no scenario above Category 2.


Day 3: 2026-07-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No change in flood risk; conditions remain calm. The tide is moderate, pressure is near normal, and winds are light.

WHEN
Peak high tide should occur around 6:54 AM and again near 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide continues as the main influence, with near-normal pressure offering little additional effect. There is no king tide or strong onshore flow. Ensemble guidance indicates consistent agreement at Category 2.
