Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-29

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A Category 2 forecast indicates no flooding risk, primarily driven by a moderate high tide. Atmospheric pressure is near normal, and onshore winds are minimal, keeping conditions calm.

WHEN
Peak high tides for this day occur around 4:42 AM and 7:06 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide height was the main contributing factor, with slightly above-normal pressure offering only a minor influence. Winds contributed very little. The ensemble is unanimous on Category 2, with no higher risk in the tail scenario.


Day 2: 2026-07-30

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected under a Category 2 classification. Moderate tide levels are the primary driver, and pressure readings are near typical values, with modest onshore winds.

WHEN
Peak high tides are around 5:24 AM and 7:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tidal conditions again lead the classification. Normal pressure and modest onshore winds have little effect on elevating risk. The ensemble shows consistent Category 2 with no higher tail category.


Day 3: 2026-07-31

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A Category 2 forecast suggests no imminent flooding risk. Again, a moderate high tide is the main factor, while slightly above-normal pressure and negligible onshore wind keep conditions stable.

WHEN
Peak high tides fall around 6:06 AM and 7:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tidal height remains the primary contributor, with above-normal pressure slightly lowering the risk. Onshore wind remains minimal. All ensemble members agree on Category 2 with no higher tail scenario.
