Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-20

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 indicates no flood risk is expected. The moderate high tide is the main driver, with near-normal pressure and minimal wind contribution.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected in the morning around 10:30 AM and again in the late evening near 10:36 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide height provided the most significant factor, while pressure remained near normal, and onshore wind was negligible. All models agree on Category 2 with no higher-tail scenario.


Day 2: 2026-07-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Again, Category 2 suggests no flood concerns for the day. A moderately high tide combined with slightly below normal pressure still remains well below flood thresholds.

WHEN
Primary high tides will occur in the early afternoon around 12:06 PM and late evening near 11:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is once more the biggest contributor, with modest pressure effects and minimal wind influence. Ensemble models uniformly indicate Category 2.


Day 3: 2026-07-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 persists, indicating no flooding is expected. The tide height is moderate, and pressure remains near normal with minimal wind effect.

WHEN
Peak tide times are around 12:54 PM and shortly after midnight near 12:00 AM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide and near-normal pressure lead to a Category 2 outcome, with wind playing a negligible role. All ensemble members align on Category 2.
