Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-29

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A Category 2 event indicates no risk of flooding. Tides will be somewhat elevated, but still below typical flood thresholds, and local pressure is near normal, so water levels are not expected to pose any threat.

WHEN Highest water levels are expected in the early morning around 4:42 AM and again in the early evening near 7:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide height is the primary factor, yet it remains well under flood-trigger levels. Pressure is near normal, and onshore winds are minimal, leading to no expected flooding.

Day 2: 2026-07-30

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Again, a Category 2 event suggests no flooding risk. While tides are moderately high, normal pressure and modest onshore wind will keep water levels in a safe range.

WHEN Peak tide conditions occur around 5:24 AM and 7:30 PM, with limited onshore wind influence.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tides remain the key contributor. Pressure is stable, and wind influence is light, resulting in no flood conditions.

Day 3: 2026-07-31

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Category 2 continues with no anticipated flooding. Although tides reach moderate levels, benign pressure and minimal wind effects keep water from surpassing normal high-tide boundaries.

WHEN Highest water levels fall around 6:06 AM and 7:48 PM, but remain well below flood levels.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide is the main factor but is not high enough to cause concern. Pressure is close to normal, and onshore wind remains light, preventing any significant water rise.
