Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-19

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Today is classified as Category 2, indicating no flooding risk. Moderate tides are the main factor, with near-normal pressure and minimal wind effects keeping flooding potential low.

WHEN Peak high tides are expected midmorning around 9:12 AM and late evening near 10:00 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Another Category 2 day, with overall conditions remaining stable. Tides are again the main contributor, while slightly below-normal pressure and light winds do not raise flood concerns.

WHEN High tides occur around 10:30 AM and again near 10:36 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING A moderate tidal height and slightly below-normal pressure nudge the classification to Category 2. The wind is minimal and does not materially increase flood potential.

WHEN Peak high tides are around 12:06 PM and 11:12 PM.
