Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-25

Category 2

WHAT
A routine high tide is expected, with slightly below-normal pressure providing a small additional rise. Overall conditions remain below flood thresholds.

WHEN
Greatest tidal heights on Saturday will occur around 1:36 AM and again late afternoon near 5:18 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate astronomical tide is the primary factor determining the Category 2 rating, with a minor influence from modestly reduced pressure. Onshore wind is minimal and does not significantly contribute to water levels.


Day 2: 2026-07-26

Category 2

WHAT
Similar to the previous day, moderate tides will occur with little risk of flooding. Pressure remains near normal, and wind contributions are minimal.

WHEN
Peak tides will occur near 1:54 AM overnight and again around 5:54 PM in the late afternoon.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide continues as the main driver, with a slight effect from near-average pressure. Winds provide only minor onshore push and are not a concern.


Day 3: 2026-07-27

Category 2

WHAT
Moderate tidal levels persist, keeping the risk level at Category 2. Pressure remains stable, and onshore winds stay light, so no flooding is expected.

WHEN
Highest tides are likely early morning around 3:18 AM and again toward evening near 6:18 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide is once again the principal influence, albeit remaining below flood thresholds. Continued near-normal pressure and minimal winds leave little additional effect.
