Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected on this day. The moderately high tidal level is the primary driver, though pressure remains slightly above normal and onshore wind is minimal.

WHEN
Peak tides occur around 12:00 AM and again in the early afternoon near 2:18 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the key factor in today’s classification, with slightly higher-than-average pressure offering minimal additional influence. Onshore wind contributed almost nothing. The ensemble agrees on Category 2, with no higher tail scenario indicated.

Day 2: 2026-07-10

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Again, no flooding risk is expected. Moderate tidal levels and slightly below-normal pressure contribute most to the classification, and wind remains too weak to add any flood threat.

WHEN
Peak tides around 12:30 AM and mid-afternoon near 3:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is still the largest factor, with mild support from somewhat lower pressure. The onshore wind is negligible. The ensemble unanimously supports the Category 2 outcome.

Day 3: 2026-07-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood concerns are anticipated. The tide is the primary factor, but pressure is slightly below normal. Light to moderate onshore wind is not sufficient to raise flood worries.

WHEN
Peak tides occur in the early morning around 1:18 AM and late afternoon near 4:54 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The high astronomical tide drove this day’s rating, with below-normal pressure adding a small influence. Wind had little effect. All models show Category 2, with no higher-tail scenario.
