Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A routine high tide situation is expected, with no flood risk. The primary driver is moderate tidal levels, with near-normal pressure and negligible wind effect.

WHEN Peak water levels will occur around 6:06 AM and again near 8:36 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tidal height provides the main contribution, while pressure remains near normal, and wind adds virtually no influence. With all models agreeing on a Category 2 outcome, no higher-end scenario is indicated.

Day 2: 2026-07-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A similar scenario persists, with moderate tides dominating but staying below flood thresholds. Pressure remains fairly typical, and wind is minimal.

WHEN Highest levels are expected around 6:54 AM and 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tidal conditions are the principal influence. Pressure offers a small additive effect, but not enough to raise concerns. Wind remains low, and all guidance consistently points to Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-07-04

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Another day with moderate tides and normal atmospheric setup, yielding no flood concern. Conditions do not suggest any major rise in water levels.

WHEN Peak tides will occur near 7:42 AM and about 9:36 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tidal contributions set the tone, while pressure and wind provide negligible additions to risk. No ensemble spread suggests anything beyond Category 2.
