Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A Category 2 event indicates no flooding risk is expected. Tide levels are slightly above normal, and pressure is near typical summer conditions.

WHEN
High tides occur around 3:18 AM and 6:18 PM, but these levels are not anticipated to cause any issues.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The main factor for this Category 2 classification is the moderate tidal elevation, with only a small contribution from near-normal pressure. Onshore wind does not meaningfully contribute to flood risk here.

Day 2: 2026-07-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood threat is expected for this Category 2 day. A moderately high tide and slightly lower-than-average pressure do not reach flooding thresholds.

WHEN
High tides occur near 3:12 AM and 6:48 PM, but these should remain below flood concerns.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide is the primary factor, with a minor effect from pressure. Wind remains minimal and does not significantly raise water levels.

Day 3: 2026-07-29

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Yet another Category 2 day with no expected flooding. Though tides remain relatively high, they do not approach flood stage.

WHEN
High tides occur roughly around 4:42 AM and 7:06 PM. These times should pose no threat of flooding.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Slightly elevated tides and near-normal pressure are the main factors; wind is negligible. Conditions will stay well below the threshold for flooding.
