Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-31

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 indicates no flooding risk. The primary driver is the moderate astronomical tide, with minimal contributions from pressure and wind.

WHEN
Peak water levels in the morning near 7:00 AM and again in the evening around 7:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the main factor behind the rating, and pressure was near normal. Onshore wind played only a minor role. All models agree on Category 2, so there is no higher-end scenario.


Day 2: 2026-08-01

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected under Category 2 conditions. The modest high tide contributes the most, with near-normal pressure and moderate onshore winds also in play.

WHEN
Peak water levels in the early morning near 6:48 AM and in the evening around 8:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the primary factor, with only slight additional influence from pressure. The onshore wind is moderate but not enough to raise flood concerns. Consensus modeling supports Category 2 with no higher outlier.


Day 3: 2026-08-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 again indicates no flooding risk. The projected high tide is the main supporting element, with pressure remaining fairly high and wind effects negligible.

WHEN
Peak water levels in the morning near 7:36 AM and in the evening around 8:42 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide drives the outcome, aided by normal to high pressure, and minimal onshore wind. Model agreement is unanimous at Category 2, so no additional uncertainty applies.
