Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-18

Category 2

WHAT A routine tide day with no flooding risk expected. Slightly above-normal atmospheric pressure and minimal onshore winds do not reinforce any potential for coastal flooding.

WHEN Peak water levels are expected during the evening high tide near 9:30 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide was the main driver, but it remained at a level insufficient to cause flooding. Pressure is near to slightly above normal, and wind contribution is negligible, keeping overall risk low.


Day 2: 2026-07-19

Category 2

WHAT Another quiet day regarding flood risk. Moderate tides and near-average pressure keep conditions nonthreatening.

WHEN Highest tide occurs around 10:00 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide again is the primary factor, with a minor contribution from slightly below-normal pressure. Offshore wind influence is minimal, so the overall flood risk remains low.


Day 3: 2026-07-20

Category 2

WHAT A continued low-risk situation with moderate tides and moderate pressure. No flooding concerns are anticipated.

WHEN Peak levels come late in the evening, near 10:36 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide is the main contributor, but it is not high enough to cause any flood issues. Pressure and wind offer negligible support for flooding, so conditions remain routine.
