Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-20

Category 2

WHAT
A routine day with no flood risk. The moderate astronomical tide is the main factor, while pressure is near normal and onshore wind is negligible.

WHEN
Peak tides will occur around 10:30 AM and 10:36 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the largest contributor to the category. Pressure and wind provided minimal influence, resulting in a Category 2 outcome.

Day 2: 2026-07-21

Category 2

WHAT
Again no flood risk expected. Tides remain moderately high, but pressure and wind are not low or strong enough to create flooding concerns.

WHEN
High tides will peak near 12:06 PM and 11:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is the primary factor, with slightly below-normal pressure, but still not at a level that would cause flooding. Wind contributions are minimal. This leads to a Category 2 classification.

Day 3: 2026-07-22

Category 2

WHAT
Conditions remain in a no-risk range. The astronomical tide is moderate, and pressure is near normal with little onshore flow, keeping flood potential low.

WHEN
High tides are around 12:00 AM and 1:54 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide again dominates the calculation, with normal pressure and slight wind effect. These factors together yield a Category 2 result.
