Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-02

Category 2

WHAT
A routine situation is expected with no flooding risk. The moderately high tide and slightly lower-than-normal pressure combined to produce a Category 2 classification.

WHEN
Peak high tides will occur around 6:06 AM and 8:36 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the primary factor, with a small contribution from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind contributed little. One of the close analogs, 2026-02-01, reached Cat 3, which is slightly higher than today’s forecast, but current conditions remain at Category 2.

Day 2: 2026-07-03

Category 2

WHAT
Again, a routine day with no risk of flooding. A moderate tide and near-normal pressure keep conditions quiet.

WHEN
Highest water levels occur near 6:54 AM and 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide was the main driver, with only minor support from pressure and minimal onshore wind. There is no king tide influence on this date.

Day 3: 2026-07-04

Category 2

WHAT
No flood impacts are expected. A moderately high tide and near-normal pressure will maintain a routine Category 2.

WHEN
Key high tide periods are roughly 7:42 AM and 9:36 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A typical astronomical tide and slightly supportive pressure lead to Category 2. Wind is minimal, and this date is not a king tide.
