Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A routine day with slightly elevated water levels but no flooding risk. Moderate tide and somewhat lower-than-normal atmospheric pressure are combining, though winds remain light.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected in the late evening around 11:00 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is the main contributor, with a small boost from slightly below-normal pressure. Onshore wind is minimal and does not substantially raise the water level.


Day 2: 2026-07-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Another routine day with similar conditions and no flooding expected. Moderate tide and slightly low pressure again dominate, while winds remain negligible.

WHEN
Water levels will be highest in the early morning around midnight, and again midday.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tidal levels and mildly below-normal pressure are the main factors, with little wind effect. Conditions are stable across the ensemble models.


Day 3: 2026-07-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Yet another day of routine water levels with no flood concerns. Modest tides and somewhat reduced pressure continue, while winds stay calm.

WHEN
Peak water levels are likely just after midnight and again in mid-afternoon around 3:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tides and below-normal pressure continue to play a role, but neither is strong enough to reach flood conditions. Wind remains negligible, and the models agree on a Category 2 scenario.
