Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-24

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
A routine day with no flood risk, mainly driven by a moderate astronomical tide and near-normal pressure. Onshore winds are minimal.

WHEN
Highest water levels are expected around 12:48 AM and later in the afternoon near 4:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide was the primary factor, with a slight contribution from normal pressure. Wind and high-tide flooding potential were negligible. This is similar to the 2026-06-24 Cat 1 event.


Day 2: 2026-07-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Still no flooding concern, although the tide is slightly higher than the previous day. Overall, near-normal pressure and minimal onshore flow reduce the risk.

WHEN
Peak water levels in the early morning around 1:36 AM and late afternoon near 5:18 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide remains the main contributor, with normal pressure providing minor support. Wind and high-tide flooding potential contribute little.


Day 3: 2026-07-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk, with slightly higher tide levels but above-normal pressure helping keep water levels in check. Onshore wind is minor.

WHEN
Peak water level is expected in the early evening around 5:54 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is the leading factor for the category, but higher atmospheric pressure and modest onshore wind reduce overall risk. High-tide flooding potential is minimal.
